Last Time Out:
The Eagles kicked off the fall at the Stetson Invite back in early September. Throughout the two-day competition, FGCU posted dominant outings in both singles and doubles play. Day one was highlighted with the Green and Blue taking three of four doubles from the hosts and then dominating in singles action coming out on top in each of the seven flights against Saint Leo.

Strong play continued on the final day as the Eagles captured each doubles match against Saint Leo as well as each singles match versus Barry University.

In doubles against NCAA DII Barry, the Eagles lost all three doubles, but won three of four against Stetson on day one and all four against St. Leo.

The wins came from the duos of former A-SUN All-Freshman Team members, junior Bridget Forster and sophomore Sara Kelly, senior Patricia "Patri" Villar and junior Sofia Perez, and sophomore Madison "Maddie" Gallegos and freshman Arina Chan.
