0

The University of Evansville Women’s Tennis Team (8-13, 0-1) was in action on Friday night when they played host to Indiana Wesleyan.  The Aces were able to defeat the Wildcats by a score of 4-3.  The match starts a weekend that will feature three matches in three days.  The Aces will be in action tomorrow at Illinois State and on Sunday at Bradley.

After securing the doubles point against the Wildcats, the Aces were able to take victories at flight one, five, and six singles.  At flight one, Andjela Brguljan was able to defeat Katie Wilson at flight one by a score of 6-2, 6-0.  This marks another win at the flight one slot for Brguljan as she continues to play strong tennis from the one position.

Head Coach Jayson Wiseman said on the match, “It was nice to finally have our whole team healthy and to get a win at home.  Indiana Wesleyan is an excellent team, and a perennial NAIA power house, so this was great preparation for our MVC matches this weekend.  Our team did a great job of picking up their play in clutch situations and winning critical deuce points.  Our freshman Marisha Darzyan and Doreen Crasta deserve a lot of credit for saving four match points to win #1 doubles, it made the difference between winning and losing today.”
