Women’s Tennis Drops Tough Bout To FAU

Nash Picked Up Lone Point in Three-Set Singles Victory

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida women's tennis (4-4) was defeated by Florida Atlantic (8-1) in a tightly-knit contest, 4-1, on Saturday morning at UNF Tennis Complex.

After a nailbiter against Charleston Southern, the Ospreys were looking to get back-to-back wins, but fell short to an FAU team that has now won eight matches in a row.

Kendall Nash and Anslee Long were looking to remain undefeated in doubles play. After a strong performance put on by the Owls, they fell short, 6-3, giving FAU the 1-0 lead on the Ospreys heading into singles play. Sofia Snitko and Jasmin Makela were dominant in doubles play leading the Owls, 4-1, before the match was left unfinished.

With five of the matches going to three sets, the Ospreys needed to win four out of the five to win the match. Kendall Nash helped the Ospreys by giving them their only point by coming back after being down one set to win, 6-4, in the third set.

Next up on the slate for the Ospreys, they will head to Lake Nona, Fla., to take on UCF on Sunday, Feb. 24, at 12 p.m.
