CINCINNATI, Ohio – Freshman Diana Tkachenko was victorious in singles and doubles once again as the University of Evansville women's tennis team fell to the University of Cincinnati by a 6-1 final on Friday at the Western Tennis & Fitness Club.
 
"We played good tennis again today unfortunately just didn't get the results we're looking for," head coach Jayson Wiseman said.  "As a coach I have to do a better job of getting them prepared for the level competition that we are playing and hopefully we will do a better job this week of converting hard work into positive results for our spring break matches."
 
Tkachenko had another great day for UE as she topped Kelly Poggensee-Wei at #2 singles, 6-1, 4-6, 1-0 (10-5).  She also teamed up with Nicoli Pereira to defeat Harley Hutchison and Ali Miller in #2 doubles, 4-3. 
 
Daria Pentsova and Andrea Pascual-Larrinaga put up nice fights at #4 and 5 singles, respectively.  Pentsova fell to Caroline Morton, 6-2, 6-3 while Pascual-Larrinaga lost in fifth-flight singles, 6-3, 6-3.
 
Over the next six days, the Aces will play six matches in Orlando, Fla.
