SAN ANTONIO, Texas - A solid showing on the top three lines in singles against No. 2 McNeese was not enough for the Nicholls State University women's tennis team as the Colonels saw their season come to an end with a 4-0 loss in the Southland Conference Tournament quarterfinals Friday at the McFarlin Tennis Center.

Nicholls wrapped up the season with a 7-13 overall record. McNeese improved to 19-3 and advanced to the semifinals against Northwestern State.

The duo of Aada Inna and Lea Grinberg had a 5-4 lead at No. 2 when play was suspended.

In singles, Liu QianYu, Bouygues and Grinberg all won their first sets on Courts 1 through 3. But the Cowgirls took the opening sets in the other three matches and went on to earn straight-set victories to clinch the match.
