ST. AUGUSTINE – No. 6 (Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Division II Top 50) Flagler College blanked No. 35 Newberry College 4-0 in a NCAA Division II Women's National Tournament preliminary round match Saturday morning at the Pollard Tennis Center.
Flagler raised its record to 15-5 and improved to 6-1 in home matches. Newberry's season ends with a 12-8 record. Flagler will face the winner of the Catawba College-Wingate University match tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.

Laura Jipescu and
Nadja Meier cruised to a 6-0 victory
Newberry forfeited No. 6 singles and it didn't take long for
Toni Pfeiffer to sweep her opponent, Sarah Wells (6-0, 6-0) and Meier, ranked No. 3 in the country, to coast to a 6-0, 6-1 win against Sofia Cardenas to clinch the match.
