NEW ALBANY, ind. - The IU Southeast women's tennis team suffered its first conference loss of the season 6-1 to Asbury University on Saturday.

With Asbury leading 1-0 heading into singles the Grenadiers were only able to win at the #1 singles position, Audrey De WItt lead 5-0 before her opponent retired due to injury which tied the match at 1-1.
