04.11.2021 | Women's Tennis

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville women's tennis hosted its last regular-season match of the spring 2021 season on Sunday afternoon, falling to Charleston Southern by a score of 5-2 at the Asheville Racquet Club.

Asheville's record moves to 5-8 overall, with a 2-4 mark in conference. The Bucs keep their perfect conference record (6-0) intact, improving to 8-7 for the season.

The Bulldogs got off to a strong start, as Lize Alet Morkel and Taylor Love edged out their opponents 7-6 at the No. 2 doubles flight. At the No. 3 doubles position, Beatrice Faureng and Brianna Taranto battled their opponents to a 7-5 victory as Asheville would claim the team point.

Singles action was where Charleston Southern thrived however, taking five of the six flights. Dougah was impressive in her match, downing Luiza Fullana after a three-set battle (6-4, 4-6, 10-7). Morkel hung tough at the No. 1 flight, but was ultimately taken down in two sets. Anastasia Horvat fought valiantly at the No. 3 flight before dropping the contest in two sets with Love and Faureng suffering the same fate.

Senior Day Ceremony
Sunday marked Senior Day for Horvat, capping off her four-year career in a Bulldog uniform.
