FORT MYERS, Florida (Jan. 30, 2021) - The FIU women's tennis team opened the 2021 slate with a road victory over Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday afternoon, as the Panthers downed the Eagles, 4-3.

With the victory, FIU moves to 1-0, while FGCU falls to 0-1 following the early season test. Head coach Katarina Petrovic has now won seven of her last nine season openers and moves to 6-1 overall against FGCU in her nine-year history at FIU.

"It's always tough to play FGCU, especially on the road," Petrovic said following the win.
