The women’s team began on Monday as well in Florida at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.
The team defeated Akron 3-2 in the first round before rain and lightning forced the second and third rounds to be played on Tuesday. Hannah Lewis, Patricia Holt and Shelby Wilson posted team wins for the Falcons while Lily Bartell competed alone, picking up another win.
Fran Rodriguez and Mikayla Baer were both defeated by Akron’s Sierra Everson and Laura Murray, respectively.
