HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - The Slippery Rock University women's tennis team closed out its time in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with a 7-0 loss to the University of Nebraska at Kearney Friday at the Evian Tennis Center.
 
Slippery Rock exits its spring break trip with an overall record of 7-4. UNK improves to 10-8 with its win over The Rock.
 
The Lopers set the tone for the day by picking up back-to-back 6-1 victories out of the second and third flights to claim the match's doubles point followed by a sweep of singles competition.
 
The Rock's top doubles team of Lois Page and Viola Lugmayr shined for The Rock on Friday as the duo produced SRU's lone win with a 6-4 victory over Zhanel Turarbek and Vasilisa Polunova. Page and Lugmayr leave the spring break trip with a solid 11-5 overall record, including an 8-3 mark in dual matches.
