EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In the final home match of the season, the University of Evansville women's tennis team earned a 7-0 win over Missouri State on Friday afternoon at Wesselman Park.
 
"This was a great team win and a great way to honor Andjela on Senior Day! We came out with great energy and effort and were able to sweep the doubles and really set a tone for the match," Aces head coach Jayson Wiseman said.  "We did a great job of carrying that momentum over to singles and were able to secure the win with quick straight set victories at #1, 2, & 6 singles. We had a couple closer matches in the second set at #4 & 5 but Dasha & Andrea did an excellent job of closing those sets out."
 
"Having Nicoli come back from down a set and down 3-0 to win her match at #3 really capped off the perfect day," Wiseman added.
 
Evansville got off to a nice start in doubles, taking all three match-ups to earn the first point of the day.  From there, the squad continued to win in singles as Chieko Yamada and Diana Tkachenko took flights 1 and 2, respectively.
 
Nicoli Pereira battled from an early hole to take an exciting win at #3 singles in three sets.  Flights 4-6 featured wins by Daria Pentsova, Andrea Pascual-Larrinaga and Andjela Brguljan each in two sets as the Aces won by the final of 7-0 on Brguljan's Senior Day.
 
The regular season winds down next weekend with a 1 p.m. match at Drake on Saturday, April 22 before the Purple Aces head to Cedar Falls to face UNI on Sunday at 10 a.m.
