DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. ? For the second straight match freshman Sara Abraul recorded the winning point as the fourth-ranked Embry-Riddle women's tennis team downed No. 14 Shorter 7-2 on Tuesday. The Eagles won two doubles points and five singles matches to improved their record to 6-5, while the Hawks fall to 4-9.

It took three sets to decide the contest at No. 3 singles between Lindsey Kurtz and Kmoch, and in the end it was Kurtz who emerged victorious with a 4-6, 7-6, 10-4 win.
