After having its match against East Florida State College canceled due to weather, the Alma College Women's Tennis team took on Southeastern University on Thursday afternoon. The early-season struggle continued for the Scots, dropping the 9-0 decision to the Fire in Kissimmee, FL.

With the loss, Alma drops to 1-5-3 overall while Southeastern improves to 4-1 with the win.

"We played many tough schools outside of our division while in Florida," said Alma Head Coach Brittany Miller. "I am hoping to settle in and get some wins when back in Alma, once conference match play starts."
