STATESBORO, Ga. – Facing one of the premiere teams in the Southern Conference, the Georgia Southern women’s tennis team dropped a 7-0 decision against the College of Charleston on Wednesday afternoon, at the Hanner Tennis Complex in Statesboro.

GSU’s tandem of Ali Beavers (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Christine Caforio (Acworth, Ga.) dropped a close match to the Cougars’ (21-3, 8-1 SoCon) duo of Laura Borza and Link Leskosky by a score of 8-5 from the No. 1 seed.

In Singles action, Beavers lost just her sixth match of the season as she was defeated in straight sets 7-5, 6-3 by Leskowky from the No. 3 slot. Sophomore Jessica Fuller (Cartersville, Ga.) fell 6-3, 6-3 at the No. 6 seed to Amanda Becker. Evans remains undefeated (12-0) on the season from the No. 5 position ousting Caforio 6-1, 6-2.
