CATONSVILLE, Md. - Suffering a rare loss, the Bison women's tennis fell to UMBC 4-2 on Wednesday, in Catonsville, Md. Nada Curcic kept her win-streak alive, winning her 15th-straight. Likewise, Curcic and doubles partner Veronica Brown are still riding their winning wave, also picking up their 15th-consective victory.
Curcic and Brown were the only Bison team to win a doubles match, upending UMBC's Aimee Lim and Ale Pedergnana, 8-5, at one doubles.
