No. 6 Sharks Quickly Back on the Winning Track with Sweep at Tampa

NSU earned their eighth perfect 7-0 finish of the season, moving to 4-1 in SSC play

TAMPA, Fla. – Just one day after falling in their lone loss of the season, the No. 6 Nova Southeastern tennis team (15-1, 4-1 SSC) got right back to work, starting a new win streak at Sunshine State Conference foe Tampa (8-4, 1-3 SSC) on Monday at UT's Naimoli and Young Tennis Complex – grinding out their eighth perfect 7-0 sweep of the year.
 
Doubles
  • All three doubles pairs finished and all three went in NSU's favor, starting with NSU's typical No. 2 pair playing with the ones, as freshman Natalie Espinal and junior Sarah Wardenburg claimed the 6-2 victory over Caroline Lozo and Dakota Busch.
  • In the second flight, junior Daniela Obandon and sophomore Chantal Nosievici worked through a 6-3 win over Corbin Dorsey and Maddie Stephens to deliver the team doubles point.
  • Rounding out doubles with the threes, freshman Diane Follin-Arbelet and junior Isabella Lowrey picked up the extra win on 6-4 battle over Vanina Iordanova and Lilley Nice.
Singles
  • Wardenburg got the Sharks started in No. 4 singles, blowing through a 6-0 first set before producing the 7-5 second-set win over Stephens.
  • The ninth-ranked rookie playing at No. 1 for the sixth time, Espinal put up 6-3, 6-4 wins over Iordanova to remain perfect when playing up a slot.
  • In No. 5 singles, Nosievici produced fourth point for the team win with a 6-4, 6-2 defeat of Lozo.
  • Topping a similar challenge in the second flight, Obando won 6-2, 6-4 over Dorsey.
  • Newly-minted at her No. 65 ranking and battling past the toughest test for the Sharks, Follin-Arbelet earned a tiebreaker victory over Nice and carried it to a 7-6, 6-1 win in just her fourth match playing at No. 3 singles.
  • Earning the final win and completing the sweep, Lowrey went 6-1, 6-4 to top Nicoline Palmgren at No. 6 singles for the Sharks' eighth 7-0 finish of the season.
From Coach Doug Neagle
"Tampa is always a gritty team that makes you work," Neagle said. "Every player had to battle and push through today, and all of our girls did just that. Great bounce-back today for the Sharks!"

Up Next: With the Mocs presenting a formidable conference challenge and sitting at 12-1 overall (3-0 in SSC play), Nova Southeastern will host No. 12 Florida Southern at the NSU Tennis Complex on Friday at 2:00 p.m.
