ORLANDO, Fla. – South Dakota endured three separate rain delays on Monday, but finally finished off a 7-0 women's tennis victory over Findlay in a match played at the USTA Tennis Center.
 
The Coyotes, now 2-7, dropped just one set in the match, the first of four over four consecutive days in Orlando, Florida.
 
The doubles team of Luana Stanciu and Jana Lazarevic opened the match with a 6-2 win over Christina Nieto Soto and Mikaela Hindenlang. Doubles tandems Emma Tranberg and Nanette Nylund posted a 6-2 win at No. 2 doubles and Natka Kmošková and Anastasiia Bondarenko prevailed 6-1 at No. 1 doubles.
 
Bondarenko, a senior, prevailed at No. 6 singles over Hindenlang 6-1, 6-1 to kick off singles play for the Coyotes.
 
Singles victories continued from Stanciu, Tranberg, Nylund, Lazarevic and Kmoskova as South Dakota snaps a four-match losing skid.
 
"Good win for the team today," coach Brett Barnett said. "Findlay made a lot of balls and pushed us at a couple of spots. We did a great job dealing with three rain delays and played better after each one. 
 
"We have another tough match against Hampton and need to rest up and be ready to compete."
 
The Coyotes face Hampton on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. (CST) from the USTA Tennis Center.
