CLINTON, S.C. – The UNC Asheville women's tennis traveled to Presbyterian for a match on Thursday, falling to the Blue Hose 6-1.

Rosie Dickson had a strong afternoon for the Bulldogs, starting her day by teaming up with Ami Grace Dougah to earn a 6-4 decision at the No. 1 doubles flight. In singles action, the sophomore from Bradenton, Florida downed her opponent 6-0, 6-2 at the No. 4 singles flight, improving her singles record to 6-1 for the season.

Liz Alet Morkel suffered a rare loss, battling Zeba Jamal to three sets at the No. 1 singles flight, including a 6-1 second-set victory before ultimately falling in the third. Ami Grace Dougah dropped a decision at the No. 2 flight, but forced a tiebreak in the second set. Linge Steenkamp would also fight valiantly at the No. 5 flight, winning her first set 7-5 but would drop the next two sets.

Asheville, which is now 5-7 (2-3 Big South), caps off its regular season next Saturday (April 10) when it hosts Charleston Southern at 1:00 p.m.
