CINCINNATI – The Northern Kentucky University women's tennis team took on Cincinnati in its final road match of the regular season on Wednesday evening and fell to the Bearcats, 4-0, at the Trabert-Talbert Tennis Center.

UC gained the early advantage, sweeping doubles play for a 1-0 lead.

Nicole Soutar and Sierra Nellessen won four games at the No. 3 doubles flight, falling to Natalia Abdalla and Samantha Perry, 6-4.
