NEW ORLEANS - North Florida women's tennis bounced back from its loss to Florida State with a 6-1 victory at New Orleans on Saturday afternoon.

QUICK HITS

- Senior Quetzali Vazquez now owns a 2-0 singles record in dual matches, while owning a four-match win streak.
- Sophomore Rafaela Gomez clinched the match for the ospreys with her 7-5, 6-3 victory in No. 3 singles.

OUTSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- UNF moves to 3-2 on the season.
- The Ospreys switched up their doubles lineup for the second time this season as Lucia Montano and Vazquez teamed up in the top doubles spot.
- The switch at the No. 3 position with Michelle Valdez and Irina Karangozishvili paid off as the new pair won their match.

SAY WHAT
"Even after winning the doubles point, UNO did not go away and we had to compete hard in every court. The girls did a good job of staying focused and that directly led to the outcome we had." - Head Coach Mariana Cobra.
