BEAUMONT, Texas – The Nicholls State University women's tennis team wrapped up its spring season on Wednesday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and was handed a 5-2 defeat in Southland Conference play.

The Colonels finish the season with an 8-13 record overall and 2-9 in conference. Corpus Christi improves to 15-4 and 8-3.

In the tiebreaker, Aubert came away with a convincing 10-3 win to clinch the match. Aubert complete her freshman season with a 10-1 record in the Southland.

In doubles, the teams split the two matches that were played, but the Islanders took the point due to Nicholls forfeiting the No. 3 match because of an incomplete lineup. Maloo and Janna Leeuwerik upped their No. 1 doubles record to 15-4 with an 8-4 victory against Cicak/ Kuselj; however, Aubert and Catherine Gauthier fell by the same score in the No. 2 match.
