Montgomery, Ala. - Rhodes women's tennis defeated Belhaven Saturday morning 7-3, but then fell to host Huntingdon College 6-3 later in the evening.

The Lynx took all three doubles and went up 4-1 before Dasha Safarian's victory at No. 1-singles sealed the win for the Lynx. 

Against Huntingdon, the Hawks went up 2-1 after doubles but Safarian tied the match with her singles win. Huntingdon then went ahead 4-3 before finishing with their last two wins at No. 4 and No. 3 singles.
