PENSACOLA, Fla. - No. 8 West Florida women's tennis (15-7, 5-3 GSC) had a successful Easter weekend to wrap up its 2025 regular season. The Argos had its last road test in the Big Easy and passed with flying colors, scoring its fourth win via sweep this season over Division I New Orleans (5-13, 1-8 SLC) on Good Friday. They then turned around and registered their 10th nonconference and South Region win, as well as their seventh ranked win, on Easter Sunday over Saint Leo (13-10, 4-5 SSC) 4-1 to wrap up its home slate at Ralph "Skeeter" Carson Tennis Complex. 
 
No. 8 UWF 7, New Orleans 0
Carlota Verdu and Sandra Recuenco got their day in NOLA started with a 5-2 win on court win via retirement over Ana Kouchnareva and Kate Kalistratova, and Alberte Joergensen and Giuliana Sacco followed by clinching the point on court three with a 6-4 win over Ananya Dhankhar and Iris Danne. The Argos got two more quick points added due to wins by walkover on courts five and six. Guadalupe Martinez clinched the victory with a 6-1, 6-3 win at the bottom of the active lineup over Danne. Verdu made the score 5-0 with her 6-0, 6-2 win over Kalistratova at the top line of singles. Recuenco followed shortly after one court down with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Fleur Sprengers before Aline Midori Da Silva clinched the sweep of the DI side with her 6-2, 6-1 final score over Nouray Metwally.
 
No. 8 UWF 4, No. 41 Saint Leo 1
Midori Da Silva and Martinez kickstarted the ranked matchup with a 6-1 win on court three over Madelyn Martin and Catherine Rabatin. Nathalia Mossambani and Luiza Daud clinched the point with their 6-3 win one court up, resulting in the top-line battle between the No. 12-ranked duo of Kamilya Shailina and Luzia Obermeier and No. 14 Carlota Verdu and Sandra Recuenco getting called with a 5-4 lead for the visitors. 
 
Mossambani moved her team score and her personal record to 2-0 with an easy 6-1, 6-0 win on court five over Sophia Johnson. No. 34 Verdu then finished the job against Obermeier at the top spot with her 7-5, 6-2 victory. No. 51 Midori Da Silva clinched the win shortly after that on court three with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Camila Keller, cutting short would-be three-set wins for the Lions by No. 48 Shailina over No. 57 Martinez and Rabatin over Daud. 
 
The Argos now head to O'Connor Tennis Center in Montgomery, Ala., for the GSC Championship Quarterfinals on Thursday, April 24 at 10 am. Seeded No. 5 in the conference standings, they take on No. 4-seed Auburn Montgomery in the Gump for the second time this season, hoping to get revenge for their upset loss to the No. 16 Warhawks earlier this month. That result is the lone data point keeping UWF from a top-four seed in the eight-team bracket, as the match pairs two teams with 5-3 GSC records in a matchup of nationally-ranked top-20 squads. AUM leads the series 11-9, with wins in five of the last six matchups, the exception coming in a 4-3 Argonaut victory two years ago in the GSC Semifinals.
