Eagles Drop Match to Lakers
Allendale, MI.- The University of Southern Indiana women’s tennis team was defeated by Grand Valley State University, 9-0, Sunday morning in Allendale, Michigan. The Screaming Eagles move to 2-4 on the year with their second defeat of the weekend.
The Eagles struggled in doubles play losing all three matches which began at 7 o’clock central standard time due to the long trip back for USI from Michigan. Kelsey Shipman<http://gousieagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2454> (Olney, Illinois) fell 6-1, 6-4 at number two singles. Kymberly Brannon<http://gousieagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2451> (Louisville, Kentucky) also competed well before eventually falling 6-1, 6-3.
USI now prepares for their spring break trip to Cocoa Beach, Florida where they will compete in five matches in five days from March 6-10.
