HUNTINGTON, Pa. -- Competing in the first-ever Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Women's Tennis Championships, the FDU-Florham women's tennis team dropped a tight 5-4 contest to Misericordia University in the tournament's consolation round on Sunday morning at Juniata College's Raffensperger Tennis Courts.

The loss ends a successful season for the Devils (7-12, 3-3 Freedom), who also qualified for the Freedom Conference Tournament this season. The ECAC berth was the first non-conference postseason appearance in the program's history.

Misericordia (10-9, 5-1 Freedom) swept all three legs of doubles before FDU-Florham freshman Nu-Kermeni Kermah (Trenton, N.J.) took a thrilling three-set victory in first singles over Bridget Boyle. Kermah dropped the opening set 6-4 but rallied to win set two 6-3 before rolling to a 6-1 win in the decisive set.

The Cougars responded by claiming second and third singles, which sealed the win. FDU-Florham's Jill Duke (Secuacus, N.J.), Remy Astorino (Fairfield, N.J.), and Tenzin Lama (Kearny, N.J.) were each victorious in fourth, fifth, and sixth singles respectively.
