3/31/2018 11:08:00 PM

QUICK SCORE: The SCAD women's tennis team traveled to Statesboro, GA to play NCAA Division I Georgia Southern University. The Bees put up a good fight but fell 2-5 in the end.
 
RECORDS: The Bees are now 9-3 while the Eagles are now 8-6 on the season.
 
DOUBLES ACTION: Camille Gbaguidi and Valerie Droop defeated their number one doubles opponents 6-2.
 
Johanna Weber and Karina Rovira lost 6-2 at number two doubles while Julia Albuquerque and Nicole Katzarkov also dropped 6-2 at number three doubles.
 
Unfortunately, the Eagles took a 1-0 lead from doubles, since NCAA Division I rules take best two out of three match results.
 
SINGLES ACTION: Gbaguidi scored the first point of the match for the Bees, dispatching her number one singles opponent 6-1, 0-6, 6-3.
 
Weber scored the final point winning 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 at number three singles.
 
Droop and Rovira fell in the deciding third set, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2 at number two singles, and 6-0, 5-7, 6-2 at number four singles, respectively.
 
Albuquerque lost 6-3, 6-1 at number five singles while Katzarkov fell 6-0, 6-3 at number six singles.
 
ACCORDING TO COACH O: "SCAD Bees played some really good tennis today. Unfortunately, we struggled on some of the Division I format in singles. We let some of the deuce points slip away from us in the process" explains Head Coach Ken Obermeier. "Doubles were good. We had great energy from the number one doubles team. Our two and three doubles got off to a slow start, so dropping only one point from doubles may have been more to our advantage."
 
WHAT'S NEXT? The Bees' Senior Day match has been rescheduled. They will now host Senior Day on Saturday, April 7 at home at 2:00 p.m. The team will play Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
