Women's Tennis Drops Road Contest to Tough Brenau Squad

Box Score GAINESVILLE, Ga.- On a day where inclement cold weather forced the tennis to be played indoors, the No. 22 Southeastern University women's tennis team fell to the No. 8 and 2019 NAIA National Quarterfinalist Brenau University Tigers 6-1. This marks the first defeat of the season for SEU.

The Tigers earned the doubles' point versus SEU with a pair of 6-3 victories at the top-two lines. The duo of Priscila Baptista and Mia Dunagan battled hard at the No. 3 position, coming up just short 7-5 in the tiebreaker.

Baptista improved to 4-0 on the season at the No. 5 singles' spot with an 8-6 win.
