Stetson women's tennis team suffered a 4-2 defeat against College of Charleston despite winning the doubles point. The Hatters led early with wins from Yuki Mizuguchi/Katsiaryna Tuliakova and Anastasija Adeikyte/Dana Baidaulet at the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles positions. However, Charleston came back strong in singles play, winning four matches and ultimately clinching the match with Sia Cariov's victory over Pilar Astigarraga Harper. As a result, Stetson will shift focus to an upcoming match against North Florida, scheduled for April 10.

What's Next

The Hatters will look to bounce back from this loss as they prepare for their Senior Day match against North Florida on April 10. This will be crucial for building momentum as the season approaches its conclusion.

Bottom Line
