Women’s Tennis Wraps Up Play at Juan Varon Invitational

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle women's tennis team of Roberta Krvajica and Mafalda Soares teamed up for the first time this fall and the partnership proved successful as the tandem won the Women's Doubles "C" flight at Bethune Cookman's Juan Varon Wildcat Invitational on Sunday.
 
Soares and Krvajica received a bye in the first round and faced Flagler's Felicitas Runkel and Camila Ramzzini in their first match. The ERAU tandem rebounded after falling behind 5-3 to top the Flagler pair 7-6. Their next match saw Soares and Krvajica overcome another 5-3 deficit to best Saint Leo's Nastasia Jedrychowski and Georgia Dobell 7-6 (8-6), but the championship match proved easy in comparison to their first two contests as the Eagle duo breezed past Rollins' Carlye Goldman and Savanna Fuller 6-1 to win the flight.
 
Georgina Wood and Alexis Marshall also made it the championship match in their flight with wins over Stetson's Olivia Talbert and Megan Horwits (6-1) and Florida A&M's Karen Machisa and Rakotondrazaty (6-2). However, Wood and Marshall were unable to get by Madeleine Gauthier and Anna Marija Bukina, falling to the Saint Leo team 6-3 in the championship match of the "B" flight.
