DELAND, Fla. –
The Eastern Kentucky University tennis teams finished up play in Deland, Florida as the men took on Stetson and the women took on Western Kentucky Tuesday afternoon at Stetson.
 
Kristina Lagoda won her second match at No. 2 singles this weekend, notching the weekend sweep.
 
The women (5-8)won the doubles point after Alexandra Belle combined with Lisa Friess at No. 1 doubles to collect a 6-2 win and Laura Argente and Raquel Montalvo defeated a Hilltopper duo, 7-5.
 
Western (6-3) took five singles point to claim the match, 5-2.

"The women lost in a long battle," Head Coach Rob Oertel said. "Western is a really strong program. The coach has done a really great job, they have six solid girls all down the line. The bright spot for us though has been doubles. It's a huge turnaround from the last few years and it makes me optimistic going into conference. Kristina played great tennis all weekend."
 
Ramon van Flymen and Parth Aggarwal each fought into three sets on the men's side. Flymen fell in set one at No. 1 singles, 6-4, but claimed the second set 7-6 (7-4). The senior fell in the super-tiebreaker 10-5.
 
Aggarwal dropped set one at No. 2 singles, 6-2, but won set two, 6-3. The New Delhi, India native also fell in the super, 10-7.
 
The men (4-12) fell to Stetson (10-2), 7-0.
 
The women will return to the court March 17 at the University of Tennessee at Martin to start conference action while the men do not play until March 23 when they take on Eastern Illinois.
