DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Playing in a shortened match, the Embry-Riddle (7-8) women's tennis team fell to seventh-ranked Nova Southeastern 5-0 on Tuesday at the Crotty Tennis Complex.
 
In an effort to beat the rain on the match's originally scheduled March 25 date, both sides opted to play the six singles matches first. However, the forecasted storm came in before any of the matches were completed and on Tuesday, the Eagles and the Sharks picked up where they left off.
 
NSU held leads on all six singles courts prior to the postponement and were able to collect the five points they needed for the win, with Natassia Rubel scoring the clinching by topping Giovanna Tomiotto 6-3, 6-1 at the fourth position.
 
The Eagles' next match will be at 3 p.m. on Thursday when they travel south to take on Palm Beach Atlantic in the first of three road matches.
