BRUNSWICK, Ga. - It was a tough start for the College of Coastal Georgia women's tennis team as they fell to the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Fillies on Tuesday afternoon at Marta B. Torrey Tennis Complex. 

The Mariners (0-1) started out hot as they won the doubles point to begin the afternoon. Karley Scott Kersey and Kourtny Kosto picked up the win at line one at 6-3 and Azul Malatini and Felicia Elixmann picked up the win at line two by the same final of 6-3.

Singles is where the Fillies (1-0) picked up their steam, winning at lines two through five to pick up their four points and the win. Kersey was the lone win of the day at line one that was played as she won in straight sets 6-4 and 6-4. Jona Marie Seban picked up a forfeit win at line six, but it was not enough to help the Mariners win their season opener. 

The Mariners return to action on Saturday, February 22, as they travel to Valdosta, Ga. to take on Valdosta State and Saint Leo. First serve is set for 11:00 a.m. against the Blazers.
