AUBURN, Ala. – Though they jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage, the No. 19 Sun Devil Women's Tennis team (5-1) couldn't quite bury No. 23 UCF (2-0), as they suffered their first loss of the 2023 campaign in a 4-2 defeat on Day 1 of the ITA Kickoff Weekend at the Yarbrough Tennis Center.
After Marianna Argyrokastriti's singles win on Court 4 doubles the Sun Devils lead, the Knights responded by rattling off four consecutive singles matches to clinch the victory. Argyrokastriti, ranked the No. 84 player in the country, was responsible for the Sun Devils' lone singles victory.
