LEXINGTON, S.C. – Marija Dzakovic won the lone match of the day as the No. 58-ranked Charleston Southern women’s tennis team fell 6-1 to No. 1-ranked Auburn University Montgomery Thursday afternoon at Lexington Tennis Club.

Olga Makhova and Dzakovic lost 8-7 (8-6) to Ana Veselinovic and Whitney Byrd, and Angie Torres and Andrea Gonzalez fell 8-2 to Nathalie Sienkob and Morgane Zowczak. Brooke Pletcher and Susita Das didn’t fare much better, as they lost 8-4 to Parija Maloo and Alina Tseplukhjova.

Dzakovic won the lone point for CSU as she took down Maloo 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 1-0 (10-7) from the second singles position.

Makhova had her 11-0 streak in singles action snapped as she lost 6-4, 6-4 to Veselinovic at No. 1 singles.
