SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Top-seeded North Florida women's tennis awaits its opponent in the 2016 Atlantic Sun Championship semifinals beginning on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at the USC Upstate Tennis Complex.

This year marks the fourth time in the last five years UNF has been the No. 1 seed in the A-Sun Championship. UNF completed a perfect 6-0 slate against A-Sun competition for the third time in four years and went 30-6 in A-Sun singles matches. North Florida has dropped just four doubles matches in A-Sun play. Quetzali Vazquez leads the squad with a 12-5 record on the singles court this season, while A-Sun Player of the Year Noemi Hemmerich and All-Conference first team member Luise Intert both boast 11 wins. Both Intert and Vazquez tallied perfect 6-0 records in A-Sun competition this season.

UNF defeated Lipscomb during the regular season, 6-1 with the Bisons taking the lone point in No. 3 singles. The Ospreys shut out Kennesaw State in the same weekend with just the No. 1 match going to three sets.
