The #1 Emory University women's tennis program rebounded after taking the loss yesterday against Charleston Southern to defeat Coastal Carolina University 4-1 on Sunday afternoon in Conway, S.C. The Eagles are now 18-3 on the season with three victories coming against Division I opponents. With the loss, the Chanticleers drop to 17-6.

The Eagles took the first two doubles matches to claim the doubles point in the match.

Juniors Michelle Satterfield and Paula Castro were deadlocked at 4-4 in their match on the no.3 doubles court but went unfinished due to the results on the other two courts.

In singles play, Emory won three of the six matches to clinch the match. Harding picked up the win on the no.1 singles line in comeback fashion 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 and on court no.4, senior Beatrice Rosen earned the victory as her opponent had to retire due to an injury. Senior Madison Gordon continued her torrid pace of late, winning the no.6 singles match 6-3, 6-0 for her team-leading 11^th straight victory.
