The second-ranked Emory University women's tennis team suffered their first loss of the 2016 spring season, falling to Division I East Tennessee State 6-1 on Sunday afternoon. With the defeat, the Eagles dropped to 3-1 on the year while the Bucs improved to 5-0.

Emory was edged in the first five singles matchups with sophomore Bridget Harding falling in three sets in the no.1 match, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1. Junior Michelle Satterfield lost at no.2 singles 6-1, 6-3 and freshman Taylor Cosme dropped a three setter for the no.3 singles point, 6-1, 2-6, 6-1. In the no.4 singles, senior Beatrice Rosen was knocked off 6-7 (3), 6-1, 10-4 and sophomore Anna Fuhr was edged 8-6 in her no.5 singles match. The Eagles' lone win came from freshman Daniela Lopez who beat Ana Gerbasi 8-7 (5) for the no.6 singles point.

ETSU picked up the point in doubles action, taking out the duos Harding and junior Katarina Su 6-4 and junior Paula Castro and freshman Daniella Moreno-Kaste 6-1. Lopez and Fuhr were tied in their match 4-4 but went unfinished due to the other doubles results.
