JOLIET, Ill. -- The University of St. Francis women's tennis team dropped its second Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference match of the season with a 4-3 decision to foe St. Ambrose University on Wednesday afternoon at Challenge Fitness.

After dropping their first doubles match at No. 3 by forfeit, the Saint duos of Anna Bintsarovskaya/Eva Kubilius and Heather Heintz/Gabriella Noa grabbed victories at Nos. 1 and 2.  The result gave the Saints their first point of the match and marked the fifth and sixth team doubles victories of the season.

Bintsarovskaya and Noa would get their second victories of the day in singles action.  Bintsarovskaya started things off with a straight-set 6-0, 6-0 victory over SAU's Julia Turek at No. 1.  Noa quickly followed with her 6-0, 6-1 win over Chiara Aguirre Corte at No. 2.

After another forfeit at No. 6 singles made it a 3-1 contest, St. Ambrose started the first of its three rallies. The Bees forced a three all tie with wins at No. 3 (6-1, 6-3) and No. 4 (1-6, 6-0, 6-0) singles before a loss at No. 5 (3-6, 6-2, 6-2) enabled the Bees to regain the lead and capture the 4-3 final score.
