University of Southern Indiana Women’s Tennis fell to Wright State University, 7-0, Saturday afternoon at the Evansville Racquet Club.

Freshman Lauren Hambrock (Terre Haute, Indiana) and senior Kymberly Brannon (Louisville, Kentucky) teamed up at number-two doubles to give the Screaming Eagles their only win of the match. In a close contest, the duo came away with the 7-5 victory in the final doubles decision. In the process, the two moved to 3-0 on the year together in doubles matches.

Wright State was able to come away with all six points in singles action. Junior Kelsey Shipman (Olney, Illinois) was competitive at number-one singles, pushing her opponent to a close decision in the second set. Eventually, Shipman would fall 6-2, 7-5.

It is a quick turnaround for the Eagles as the University of Missouri-St. Louis comes to Evansville for another afternoon matchup Sunday at 1 p.m. The nonconference contest is scheduled to take place at the USI Tennis Courts.
