The first weekend of the Florida State Quad Tournament is in the books, as the women's tennis team took on No. 14 Florida State, No. 30 Iowa and No. 60 Alabama in a tournament at FSU's home courts in Tallahassee.

The tournament, which opened the Knights' spring season on Saturday, put UCF against Alabama and Iowa in singles play.

The Knights were able to sweep both matches against Iowa but fell in all six matches to Alabama.

Freshman Josephine Haraldson defeated Iowa's Christina Harazin in straight sets 6-1, 6-1 and sophomore Allison Hodges defeated the Hawkeyes' Cassandra Escobar 6-3, 6-4 in straight sets Saturday.  

Junior Alexis Rodriguez and sophomore Jenna Doerfler both fell in straight sets to Alabama.

UCF will hold an exhibition against the U.S. Junior National Team on Jan. 20.
