RINDGE, N.H. - The Franklin Pierce University women's tennis team was defeated on Friday afternoon, 8-1, at home by Regis (Mass.) in non-conference play. With the loss, Franklin Pierce falls to 1-14, while Regis improves to 16-4.

The win, Regis' 16th of the campaign, set the program record for most wins in a single season. The previous record of 15 was set by the 2014 squad and matched by the Pride a few weeks ago.

Sophomore Sonia Rodrigues (Swansea, Mass.) picked up the lone point of the day for the Ravens at first singles on Friday. She matched up with Regis junior Erica Murphy (Portsmouth, N.H.) and pulled out an 8-6 victory. With the match moved inside due to wet weather, all six singles matches were played in the pro-set format.

In doubles play, senior Nicole Gilooly (East Sandwich, Mass.) and sophomore Kara Brazel (Glastonbury, Conn.) would come the closest to picking up another point for Franklin Pierce. Ultimately, the duo dropped an 8-6 decision to junior Emily Rice (Pittsfield, Mass.) and freshman Katasha Jarvis (Mt. Vernon, N.Y.).

In all, five Regis players were victorious in both singles and doubles play on the day, led by junior Jessie Lord (Fall River, Mass.). She picked up an 8-6 win at second singles after teaming with Murphy for an 8-5 win at first doubles.

Regis returns to action on Monday for Senior Day when they welcome Wentworth to campus for a 4:30 p.m. match
