Anastasia Akuginova and JJ Scholten pick up set victories during singles play
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Toledo women's tennis team closed out the 2026 dual season by falling to Florida in the NCAA Championship First Round, 4-0, on Saturday morning at the University of Michigan.
The Rockets (13-9) ended their season with the program's second-ever Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship and second NCAA Championship appearance. Â
Florida started off the match by winning the doubles point after a 6-0 decision on the No. 2 court and a 6-3 victory on the No. 3 court. The No. 1 doubles duo of Isabella Barretto and Neha Guru were in a close battle, 4-3, before the match was abandoned.
In singles court, the Gators fired off wins on the No. 3, 5 and 6 courts to clinch match point. On the No . 4 singles court, freshman Anastasia Akuginova picked up a 6-2 win in the first set before the match was unfinished during the second set. Sophomore JJ Scholten battled back on the No. 2 court to win the second set, 2-6, 6-4, before her contest was abandoned.
Florida will move on to play the winner of this afternoon's match between No. 12-seeded Michigan and Illinois State.
Quoting Head Coach Tracy Mauntler
"I am so incredibly proud of the way we battled in singles. This is great motivation for us moving forward because this team can hang with anyone."
