In a championship battle of two undefeated Eagles, it was Nora Svensson who made history on Sunday. Svensson defeated teammate June Bjork to claim the first singles top-flight championship at the Bedford Cup in FGCU history.<\/p>\n
Svensson\u2019s 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) win claimed the title for the junior for Sweden. That now evens Svensson\u2019s record against Bjork at 1-1 following their battle at the Audi Danderyd Open over the summer. <\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s title match wrapped up a weekend full of action for the Eagles, one in which FGCU went undefeated against Florida State (2-0), North Florida (3-0) and South Florida (2-0) in singles action. The Green & Blue posted a 15-8 record in singles over the tournament with a 5-4 mark in doubles. Anjali Kotecha was named the Sportsmanship Award winner. <\/p>\n
Svensson started the weekend with a straight-set win over UCF\u2019s Jade Psonka, battled through a tiebreaker win over FAU\u2019s Panna Bartha and advanced to the championship match with a straight-set win over FIU\u2019s Sofia Fernadez Figueras. <\/p>\n
Bjork\u2019s loss to her teammate was her only singles loss of the weekend. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a championship battle of two undefeated Eagles, it was Nora Svensson who made history on Sunday.
