ARLINGTON, Texas – Southeastern Louisiana freshman Morgane Charpenne picked up a straight set singles win, but it was not enough for the Lions to overcome UT Arlington in a 6-1 loss in Southland Conference women's tennis action Friday afternoon at the UTA Tennis Center.
 
Opening a stretch of four road matches in five days, the Lions fell to an 8-8 overall and 1-6 in Southland Conference play. UT Arlington ran its record to 12-7 overall and 7-2 in league action with the victory.
 
In doubles play, the Lion duo of senior Morgane Dadot and sophomore Laura Verges teamed for an 8-5 win over the Lady Maverick pairing of seniors Maria Martinez-Romero and Nikola Matovicova at the No. 1 position. However, UTA took the point with wins at the other two positions.
 
Charpenne helped Southeastern avoid the shutout with her sixth singles win of the spring. On the No. 5 court, the Saint-Cyr, France native was too much for UTA freshman Christine Foote in a 7-6, 6-3 victory.
 
The No. 2 court saw a competitive match between Verges and Lady Mav freshman Verena Scott. After taking the opening set, 6-3, Verges dropped the second set, 6-2 and retired down 3-1 in the third set. UTA took the other four singles matches in straight sets.
