Women's Tennis Drops Close One to Rollins

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.- The Palm Beach Atlantic women's tennis team faced a tough match against Rollins College (6-0) on Saturday at the Mitch Gornto Tennis Center, ending in a 2-4 loss. PBA showcased their singles strength with wins at the No. 3 and No. 6 positions. The match finished early due to rain and lightning in the area. The singles portion of the match was played first due to the forecast. 

The doubles point went to Rollins after Nisan Can and Alyssa Novoa edged out Alina Hoermann and Valeria Lopez, 9-6, on court one. Doubles matches on courts two and three were left unfinished, with Rollins pairs leading both.

In singles play, Rollins extended their lead when Lorin Tilipman defeated Elisa Buhagiar 6-0, 6-2 at No. 4. Can followed with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Virginia Borja at No. 2. Novoa maintained Rollins' momentum, winning 6-3, 6-3 against Hoermann on court one.

The 'Fish responded with Daniela Ortiz's straight-sets win, 6-4, 6-3, over Annie Sallick at No. 6. Rollins secured the match as Sydney Eckstein overcame Anarella Brito 6-2, 6-0 at No. 5. In a thrilling finish, Lopez battled through a third-set tiebreak to defeat Amina Abdulloeva 3-6, 6-4, 1-0(10-8) on court three.
