ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Opening up a nine-match homestand, the UCF women's tennis team dropped a rain-shortened 5-0 decision to No. 45 South Florida Wednesday at the UCF Tennis Complex. The Knights' fell to 3-6 on the season, and the Bulls stretched their record to 5-3 in 2012.
Comfortable conditions greeted both teams for doubles play, where USF earned a 1-0 overall lead by sweeping the three matches.
Before the rain and thunderstorms breezed into the Orlando area, four singles matches were able to be completed as the visiting school collected straight-set wins at No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 6. Josephine Haraldson was step-for-step with Paula Montoya at No. 5, with the duo knotted at 3-3 in the third set until the weather turned. Taylor Dubins also was battling at No. 4, but her match vs. Lucie Rey was halted as well.
The Black and Gold returns to the courts for a Saturday meeting with No. 10 Tennessee at 12 p.m. All events at the UCF Tennis Complex feature free admission.
