GREENVILLE, S.C. - The Brown women's tennis team (8-6) fell 4-0 to the nationally ranked No. 38 Furman Paladins (13-2) on Monday afternoon. This loss snaps the Bears' six match winning streak, and extends the Paladins' to eight matches.

"It was a great experience for our team to play such an experienced and gritty team today. Furman made us fight for every point in every match and I was so glad our players didn't back down from the challenge. Unfortunately we made too many mistakes in crucial moments, but overall I was proud of the willingness our players showed to be uncomfortable as they competed until the last points of their matches. I trust our players will take today's match as a learning opportunity to continue to grow their competitive 'muscles'," Broadbent Family Women's Tennis Head Coach Lucie Schmidhauser said.

Brown was unable to earn the doubles point, starting the match with a 1-0 deficit. Furman picked up wins at second and third doubles giving the Paladins an early advantage.

The Bears battled their way through singles, unable to come out with a win. Furman's Sara Snyder and Ellie Schulson held off senior Gabby Soliman and sophomore Anne Yang at the first and fourth lines, respectively. First-year Ali Maguy fought against the Paladins' Marissa Pennings, but ultimately dropped her match in a second set tiebreaker (1-6, 7-6(1)).

The Bears will continue their road trip when they travel to UNC Charlotte to take on the 49ers on Wednesday, Mar. 26 at 1 p.m.
