FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The No. 5 Nova Southeastern women's tennis team finished off a quality weekend in the Peach State on Sunday at the VSU Tennis Courts.

FROM COACH DOUG NEAGLE
"It's always nice to get two solid wins on a long road trip, especially the first road trip of the season. Valdosta is an improved team and our ladies were ready for the challenge. Karo and Diane had a quick win in doubles that helped set the tone. They both carried it into their singles matches as well."

UP NEXT
The Sharks will return to action at home next weekend and get an early start on the Sunshine State Conference slate with the Tampa Spartans coming to town on Feb. 15 at 10:00 a.m. UT is 1-1 after falling to No. 13 Flagler at home on Sunday, 6-1.
