2016 NCCU Invitational Final Results/Bracket

DURHAM, N.C. – Freshmen Frida Cnossen and Iris Floet claimed the Doubles B Flight championship for host North Carolina Central University in the 2016 NCCU Invitational contested on Thursday and Friday at the NCCU Tennis Courts.
 
The Lady Eagles won a total of six matches in the two-day event, including a trio of singles and doubles contests.
 
Cnossen and Floet won both of their matches together on day one while junior Jamie Rogers and senior Lynsey Cover won a doubles consolation match. Cnossen, Rogers and Cover all then picked up exhibition singles victories on the second day of competition.
 
The rookie tandem of Cnossen and Floet secured the Doubles B Flight with a pair of convincing wins. The duo first produced an 8-2 conquest of a Davidson College team and then knocked off a UNC Wilmington squad, 8-3, in the championship match.
 
Rogers and Cover bounced back from an opening loss to UNCW with an 8-4 consolation win over Charlotte in Friday's afternoon session. NCCU went a combined 3-2 in its five doubles matches.
 
In singles action, Cnossen and Rogers both got in the win column during Friday's first session against A Flight entrants. Cnossen rolled to a dominating 6-0, 6-1 victory over Davidson's senior Sarah Stein. Rogers had to gut out a three-set encounter in her exhibition win, eventually topping UNCW's freshman Celeste Matute by a 6-2, 4-6, 10-8 margin.
 
Cover notched the Lady Eagles third singles win in Friday's second session. Cover trailed UNCW's junior Thai Thompson 5-1 in their super-set tilt before rallying to win the next seven games to pick up the 8-5 comeback victory.
 
Senior Tamara Jeremic nearly gave the maroon and gray a perfect 4-0 Friday after winning her first set, but Charlotte senior Briana Bodner was able to win a couple tiebreakers to take the close affair by a 3-6, 7-6 (5), 10-3 score.
 
NCCU women's tennis will open up dual-match play in the New Year, beginning with a neutral-site contest against Ball State University at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Saturday, Jan. 21.
