The New York University women's tennis team dropped its opening-round match at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship to top-seeded Emory University on Friday, April 27, at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs, FL.
 
The eighth-seeded Violets (0-10) fell 9-0 to the Eagles (14-4), who are ranked #2 in Division III by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).
 
"Emory played well - there's a reason they're the #1 seed," said NYU head coach Horace Choy.

The Violets return to the court tomorrow at 9:00 am to face fifth-seeded Brandeis University. The winner advances to the Fifth-Place Match, with the loser going on to the Seventh-Place Match.
