Coming off consecutive losses to highly-ranked opponents, the Marquette women's tennis team got back on the right track Monday, wrapping up its regular season schedule with a 4-3 win over Stetson University in Deland, Fla. The victory brings the Golden Eagles' record to 16-8 overall.

After picking up the doubles point with wins at No. 2 and No. 3, the team picked up three singles wins to take the match. Paola Calderon won handily at No. 1 singles and senior Robin Metzler also picked up a win at No. 6 singles. The deciding match came at No. 4 singles, where sophomore Kylie Moore won a thrilling tiebreak, 6-0, 4-6, 7-6.

The win cemented the team's status as the No. 4 seed in the upcoming Big East Conference Championship this week in Tampa, Fla. The event is hosted by South Florida and takes place April 16-19.

The team will look to improve on its fifth-place finish in last year's tournament. They await the winner of No. 5 seed Rutgers and No. 12 Connecticut. Marquette defeated both potential opponents earlier in the season — a 4-3 win over the Scarlet Knights February 22 in Piscataway, N.J. and a 7-0 shutout of Connecticut March 1 at home.
