MIAMI SHORES, Fla. - Facing another nationally/regionally ranked Sunshine State Conference opponent, the Eckerd College women's tennis team fell in a tough dual on a breezy Saturday afternoon against No. 2 Barry University, 9-0.

The Tritons (5-9, 0-5) were coming off a tough match on Friday, battling the elements against Nova Southeastern.

The Bucs (13-1, 4-0) were led by the South Region's third and sixth ranked players in singles competition, Emma Onila and Sonja Larsen.

"The women had yet another tough conference matchup today," said Head Coach, Ben Maxwell. "Everyone gave it their best and fought until the end. We are looking forward to an out-of-conference match against St. Olaf College and senior day on Wednesday."
