HILTON HEAD, SC – Sofia Gutierrez (Miami, FL/Palmetto Senior) won her singles match at No. 4, but the Rider University women's tennis team fell to Saint Louis, 6-1, on Tuesday. With the loss, the Broncs fall to 2-8, while the Billikens are now 9-0.

Saint Louis took the doubles point with wins at Nos. 1 and 2, while the third match was halted with Avery Oppenheim (Marietta, GA/Walton/Georgia Connections) and Daniela Naves (Alvarado, Mexico/Club Med Academies) trailing, 5-4.

With the match already decided, Gutierrez pulled out a 2-6, 6-2, 10-3, victory over Emmerson White at No. 4. But the Billikens took the remaining five flights in straight sets to secure the victory.

"Women played a tough team," said Rider Head Coach Tom Battaglia. "Congrats to Sofia on a great win. She's playing well down here. Nice to see her get revenge from her tough three-set loss yesterday."

The Broncs return to action Friday, when they wrap up their Spring Trip against South Carolina State.
