LAKE WALES, Fla. – The third-ranked Embry-Riddle women's tennis team successfully defended its Sun Conference regular season crown on Saturday with a 7-0 road win over Warner. The Eagles (17-2) dropped just one game in seven conference matches on the way to their third consecutive league regular season titles and a 7-0 conference record.
 
With just five courts available for play, both teams agreed to play the singles matches first rather than the traditional format of three doubles followed by six singles matches.
 
ERAU Head Coach Dave Paschal made some adjustments to his line-up as the five of the six singles players saw action at unaccustomed positions in Saturday's match. Yi Ching Chen was the only constant in the lineup as she downed Cindy Prieto at the top singles spot. Kristina Marova played at No. 2 for the first time this season, while Josefine Strom, Paola Montero and Giovanna Tomiotto rounded out the No. 3 through No. 5 spots. All five ERAU players notched 6-0, 6-0 victories over their respective opponents and the Eagles got its sixth singles point by virtue of a forfeit.
 
The Eagles' next match will be at 2 p.m. on Thursday when they host Armstrong Atlantic at the Crotty Tennis Complex. The Lady Pirates are 18-0 on the year and are ranked third in NCAA Division II.
