Women’s Tennis Earns Two Wins In Florida

Aces off to nice start on road trip

 ORLANDO, Fla. – A perfect opening day of action saw the University of Evansville women’s tennis team earn a pair of victories to open their trip to Orlando on Sunday.  The Purple Aces picked up a 7-0 win over Florida A&M before finishing up with another 7-0 shutout against Marian.

“Our focus was very good today. I was very pleased with the fact that we swept both teams in singles and doubles despite using some different line up combinations that we haven’t used much to this point,” Aces head coach Jayson Wiseman said.  “Chieko and Diana were dominant at the top of the lineup, Nicoli and Daria were both very efficient in the middle and Andrea, Andjela and Theda did a great job of dictating play at the bottom. This was definitely our most complete back-to-back performance of the season.”

Evansville did not suffer a loss in either match at double or singles while Chieko Yamada, Diana Tkachenko and Andjela Brguljan each earned a pair of 6-0 shutouts in singles action against Marian.

Full results from both matches are below.  The Aces continue play in Orlando with matches on Tuesday against Creighton and Norfolk State.  UE remains in the city on Thursday where they will take on South Dakota and Furman.
