ARLINGTON, Texas - The Texas-Arlington women's tennis team lost a hard-fought match to Southeastern Louisiana, 4-3, Saturday afternoon.

Texas-Arlington (1-7, 1-1 SLC) started the day off by winning two of the three doubles matches to garner the doubles point.

SE Louisiana (8-2, 2-0 SLC) rebounded to win four of the six singles matches to defeat Texas-Arlington, 4-3.

Freshman Klara Jagosova defeated Breda Kovac, 6-1, 6-3, at the number one singles position, while junior Monika Peciulionyte had the other victory for the Lady Mavericks, defeating Jana Simurkova, 7-6, 6-0, at the number four position. The deciding match seemed to be junior Daniela Novokova's loss at the number two position to Emilija Arnaudovska, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Novakova won the first set before dropping the final two.

This loss was Texas-Arlington's first in regular-season conference play since 2002.

The Mavericks will be back in action Friday when they host Columbia. First-serve is set for 11 a.m. at the UTA Tennis Center.
