Eight years in the making, the University of Minnesota Duluth made their long awaited return to Florida only to fall to Swarthmore College in its first of five matches in The Sunshine State.
The Bulldogs got the opportunity of a lifetime Monday evening by playing at the United States Tennis Association Nation Campus in Orlando, Fla. The Bulldogs dropped the non-conference match 9-0 to move to 2-3 this spring.

Junior Carly Chaney had her best performance of the season despite the end result. The Nisswa, Minn., native took a hard-fought 6-3, 6-1 setback in No. 2 singles. On the doubles side, the freshmen pairing of Isabelle Simon and Sidney Friedrich teamed up for the first time this season and netted the toughest battle of the three double matches. The duo earned a 6-3 loss in the No. 2 spot. 

The Bulldogs have a pair of matches tomorrow with Oglethorpe University and Ohio Wesleyan University.
