Wilkinson played a close match against Costa in the No. 4 singles match, but fell 6-2, 3-6, 4-6.

The match against Virginia Commonwealth scheduled for Sunday was canceled due to inclement weather in the area. The match will not be rescheduled.

The Lady Eagles will be back in action on Wednesday as they make the trip up I-77 to take on Charlotte at 2 p.m.

• MEN'S GOLF -- In Greenville, the Winthrop men's golf team struggled to a 22nd place finish in the 54-hole Furman Intercollegiate.

The Eagles shot a three-day total of 932 (313-309-310) and tied with Marshall to finish 58 shots behind tourney champion Tennessee Chattanooga, which nipped Clemson by three shots.
