ROME, Ga. – Flagler College's
Nadja Meier lost in this morning's ITA Cup women's singles final to Salma Djoubri of Lynn University 7-6(2) and 6-1 at the Rome Tennis Center.

She started out by rolling over Jazmin Zamorano of the University of Nebraska-Kearney 6-2, 6-3 in Thursday's Round of 16. Meier followed that with a dominant performance against Lexie Weir of Nova Southeastern University, 6-1 and 6-2, in the quarterfinal round. She had a walkover in the semifinal round before facing the top seed, Djoubri, in this morning's final.

Dana Heimen for the doubles competition. They defeated Alex Mann and Brooke Fager of Biola University, 6-4 and 6-1. However, they were defeated in the quarterfinal round 2-6, 6-2, 10-7 by Freya Davies and Natalie Espinal of Nova Southeastern. In the consolation round, Meier and Heimen pocketed one more win as they defeated Maja Jung and Lara Schmid of Washburn University 7-5 and 7-5.
