ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. – The ECSU women's tennis team dropped a pair of conference matches to VUU Saturday afternoon by the scores of 4-1 and 4-2.
 
In the first match, despite the No. 1 doubles tandem of senior Andrea Nevola and freshman Juelle St. Clair claiming a 6-0 victory, the doubles point went to the Panthers as they won at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. In the No. 2 doubles, freshman Alexis Neathery and sophomore Keeley Weber battled, but eventually fell 7-5.
 
In singles play, the lone victory came in top post as Nevola blanked Rudell Octave 8-0. The No.2 match-up between St. Clair and Joydan Parker proved to the match to watch as they went back and forth, but it was Parker who edged the 8-5 win.
 
In the second match, which was a rescheduled event from earlier in the season, it was the tandem of Nevola and St. Clair winming decisively, 6-0. However, once again, VUU wins at the No. 2 and No. 3, gave them the doubles points.
 
Nevola was again a winner in singles action as she won 8-2 before St. Clair defeated Parker 8-2, giving the Vikings their two points of the match.
 
ECSU is back in action when they travel to Virginia State on April 23 for a pair matches at 1:30 and 3:00 pm.
