NEWBERRY, S.C. – Despite an impressive start to the match with victories at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, the Converse University women's tennis team (0-2) was unable to seal the deal against the Newberry Wolves (1-0) and fell 5-2.

Graduate student Tonya Glogowski-Watson and sophomore Sofia Giraldo-Jimenez started the Valkyries off with a 6-2 victory on court one. Sophomore Khushi Kharb and senior Natalie White rounded out doubles play with a 6-4 victory on court two to send the Valkyries into singles competition with the advantage.

But that advantage was not enough as the Wolves claimed five singles courts. Glogowski-Watson defeated the reigning South Atlantic Conference freshman of the year at No. 2 singles in consecutive sets: 6-3, 6-4.

With their fall dual season finished, the Valkyries return to the courts in the spring for their championship season.
