Box Score RESULTS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Isabella Lowrey picked up her first singles win of the season as the Nova Southeastern University women's tennis team (7-8, 4-4 SSC) snapped their three-match home losing streak with an 8-1 win over Eckerd College (4-11, 0-7 SSC) on Friday afternoon at the NSU Tennis Complex.
"Today was a great win, a big confidence booster for all of us," said

Simone and Nastassia are still undefeated in doubles and it was great to see Bella (Lowrey) finally get her first win at singles. We have a tough one tomorrow against Florida Tech and we need a solid effort like today to finish with a winning conference record."

Alex Kaeser and
Arina Sharonova picked up only the second win as a No. 3 pair, while the
Simone Pratt and
Nastassia Rubel duo improved to 13-0. Perez and Lowrey secured the sweep with their third consecutive win.
Eckerd got their lone point of the day in singles after Rubel retired No. 3. Perez got that point back with a 6-0, 6-0 shutout over Emily Fridrik in the top flight. A few minutes later,
Eva Agasse secured the win for the Sharks blanking Bailey Koronich, 6-0, 6-0 at No. 5.
