Box Score

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's tennis team ranked No. 68 in the latest ITA rankings, began their final regular-season road trip with a 4-0 loss to Conference USA and in-state foe FIU, on Friday afternoon.

The Owls dropped doubles' courts two and three, giving FIU, ranked No. 40 in the same poll, the first point of the match. The Panthers then rattled off three singles court wins to take the clinch-clinch match.

Quotable

Assistant Coach Martina Alvarez
"The girls fought hard, but it didn't go our way this time. Credit our opponent who played solid tennis on the important points. We will get back to work tomorrow to get ready for the next challenge at USF on Sunday."
