DeLand, Fla. -- The Stetson University women's tennis team won its 10th match of the year Saturday afternoon as the Hatters topped College of Charleston 5-2 at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.

Singles action proved to be more of a battle for the Hatters as three of the six matches went three sets. Noa Cohen secured a two-set victory on court 5 with two 6-3 wins to put Stetson up 2-0. On courts 3 and 4, Cheri Darley and DiFrancesco needed a little extra in their second sets as both came out on top 7-6 after hard-fought matches, giving the Hatters a 4-0 lead.
On court 1, Gabriel and Coatzee played a three-set match as Coatzee took the first set 7-5. Gabriel came back and took set two 6-2 before taking set three 7-5 in one of her hardest fought matches of the season.
