LAKELAND - For the second straight day, the weather played havoc with the schedule at the 2014 USTA/ITA South Regional Championships at the Wynee Warden Tennis Center on the FSC campus as play was again halted around 4:30 p.m. with several matches unfinished in both the main and consolation draws of the four-day event.

For the day, the Moccasins four players entered in the event remained alive and will return to the courts on Sunday as its No. 5 seeded doubles team of senior Magda Riutort (Petra, Spain) and junior Miroslava Mensikova(Hranice, Czech Republic) advanced to the quarterfinals of the main draw after picking up an 8-1 win in the round of 32 over Tampa's tandem of Alexandra Bologno and Emily Hewland. The Moccasin duo, who are 2-0 in the tournament, will face the No. 1 seeded doubles team of Laure Eline Faure and Monika Kochanova from West Florida at 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning. The semifinals of the main doubles draw is scheduled for later in the day on Sunday, while the championship doubles match will be played on Monday morning.

While its top doubles team remained alive in the main draw, the Mocs other doubles team of senior Olivia Spagnuolo (Andover, Mass.) and freshman Cassie Eldredge (Peachtree City, Ga.) advanced to the semifinals of the consolation doubles draw after picking up an 8-1 win in the round of 16 consolations against Mississippi College's Courtney Schrock and Karly Matthews and then earned a spot in the semifinals by earning a win by default in the quarterfinal round over West Alabama's tandem of Stanzi Stuit and Sandra Florez. Spagnuolo and Eldredge, who are 2-1 in the event, will face Florida Tech's tandem of Erin Ergeoff and Meritt Rabsen at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

Meanwhile, in singles play on Saturday's second day of action at the USTA/ITA South Regional Championships, Riutort, who was seeded fifth in the main draw, suffered a loss in a third-set tiebreaker to Palm Beach Atlantic's Valeriia Nagovitcina (6-4, 1-6, 10-6) in the main draw and then in the consolation round, the All-Sunshine State Conference performer defaulted due to injury to Saint Leo's Katherine Zaatini.

The other Moccasin player competing in the main singles draw on Saturday was Spagnuolo as she opened Friday's round of 64 with a win over Valdosta State's Anke Poncelet, before falling to Rollins' No. 9 seeded Shannon Etten on the round of 32 on Saturday. Etten picked up a straight set 6-2, 6-2 win over Spagnuolo.

In addition to Riutort and Spagnuolo, Mensikova, who fell in the first round of the singles main draw on Friday, picked up two wins in the consolation singles draw on Saturday as she defeated UT's Jenelle Morgan by default in the round of 16, before picking up a 6-1, 6-0 win in the consolation quarterfinals against Mississippi College's Laura Van Horn. In the consolation singles semifinal on Sunday, Mensikova will face Florida Tech's Mariana Castaneiras.

The Mocs other singles player on Saturday, Eldredge saw her stay in singles ended in the consolation quarterfinals. She opened the consolation draw round of 16 with a bye, before falling in the consolation singles quarterfinal to Palm Beach Atlantic's Veena Vasquez, who was seeded ninth in the main singles draw. Eldredge fell in straight sets to Vasquez, 6-2, 6-1.

On Sunday, the matches that were postponed when the weather cancelled the remainder of Saturday's schedule will be completed first and then the main draw doubles for both men and women and consolation doubles will be played. Following doubles, the main singles draw for both men and women will be played and the men's consolation doubles matches will be contested. In addition, Sunday's play will also feature consolation singles matches and another round of main draw singles.

The championship matches in both singles and doubles for both the men and women are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 29.
