Due West, S.C. – Playing on the road this afternoon, the Erskine Flying Fleet fell to Jaguars of Georgia Regents University 5 to 4 in non-conference women's tennis action at the Newman Tennis Center.

After the three doubles matches, Erskine found themselves trailing GRU 2 to 1.  Senior Corin Hallman (Mt. Pleasant, SC, Wando High School) and junior Mika Goyette (Brossard, Quebec, Ecole Secondaire De Mortague) edged GRU's Aida Castany and Marie Vin 8 to 6 to earn the Fleet's point.
