Box Score ST. AUGUSTINE – No. 1 (ITA Division II) Armstrong State University defeated No. 16 Flagler College 5-0 in a semifinal match of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament Sunday morning at the Dr. Eddie Floyd Florence Tennis Center.

Armstrong, the defending national champions, improves to 26-0 on the season and will play No. 9 Columbus State University at noon in the conference final. Flagler falls to 13-10 overall and will wait to see what location it will be sent to for the Southeast Regional which will be announced on Tuesday (April 28).

Esther Santiago and Hanna Goettsching trailed 4-3 in their doubles match with No. 19 Carolina Prats-Milan and Nicole Fossa Huergo, but fell 8-3 as the Saints lost all three doubles matches.

No. 10 Lena Lutzeier defeated Santiago, ranked No. 45, in straight sets – 6-0 and 6-1. No. 7 Clara Perez won 6-0 and 6-0 over Barbora Sebkova.  

Flagler, who was ranked No. 4 in the last NCAA Division II Southeast Regional ranking, will more than likely play in either the Savannah or Columbus bracket of the Southeast Regional. Armstrong and Columbus State are the top two seeds in the region in the last ranking. The regional will be played May 2-5.
