BEAUMONT, Texas – Senior Andrea Nedorostova cemented her spot in the Northwestern State tennis record books but her effort wasn't enough to help the Lady Demons prevail, as NSU lost a tough battle against Lamar 4-3 on Saturday afternoon at the Thompson Family Tennis Center.
 
“This was a disappointing loss, “ said Lady Demon head coach Patric DuBois. “We came out and played very well in doubles and then went flat in singles.”
 
The Lady Demons move to 10-7 overall and 5-3 in Southland Conference action while Lamar advances to 10-8, 6-2.
 
Nedorostova and teammate Tatiana Larina posted an 8-5 victory over LU's Carolina Salas and Helene Czudek, pushing NSU's lone senior to the top of the school's career doubles wins ledger with a 68-10 record.
 
A native of Brno, Czech Republic, Nedorostova is now the winningest doubles player in program history, surpassing former Lady Demon Bianca Schulz's career record of 67-21 from 2008-11.
 
“We are very proud of Andrea becoming the all-time leader in doubles victories during her career,” said DuBois. “She has played with different partners during this time which shows her strong abilities in doubles.”
 
Nedorostova also improved her career singles record to 58-20, which ties the No. 4 all-time wins record, after defeating Natalia Mayagoitia 6-3, 7-6 (6) at the No. 4 position.
 
Polina Konop and Natalya Krutova overtook Carolina Maso and Mayagoitia 8-3 at the No. 2 doubles spot while Daniela Simonova and Amy Williams took down Alicia Porte and Dariya Dashutina 8-7 (7-0) in the third position as the Lady Demons swept the doubles matches to start the day 1-0.
 
Konop grabbed the second singles victory for NSU, defeating Salas 7-6 (2), 6-3 at the No. 1 spot.
 
“Polina, again, played very well in both matches on today and I am very happy with her process of doing things,” said DuBois.
 
Lamar would rally in singles play, taking four of the six matches, to override the doubles point and win the match.
 
“In general we made too many errors in singles,” said DuBois. “Lamar did a good job fighting and deserved the win today.”
 
The Lady Demons travel to McNeese on Sunday for their final regular season match. Competition is slated to begin at 11 a.m. at the Nancy Hank Tennis Center.
