Box Score

Evansville, IN– The University of Evansville Women's Tennis Team (6-10, 0-0) was able to finish their spring break with a record of 4-1.  On Sunday, they wrapped things up with a big victory over Southeast Missouri State.  The Aces were able to defeat SEMO by a final score of 5-2.  This marked the Aces first home victory of the season.
 
The Aces were victorious in all flights in both singles and doubles with the exception of flight one singles, flight six singles, and flight three doubles.  Katie Delgado highlighted singles play with a hard fought 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (6) victory over Mila Majtan of SEMO.
 
Coach Jayson Wiseman on today's performance:
 
"It's nice to get a home win against a quality opponent.  SEMO had a variety of different styles of players that were difficult to adjust to, which is why at one point we faced a deficit in every match except #1 doubles.  From top to bottom I'm very pleased with our effort, and this was a terrific result for our team still playing without one of our top two singles players and our number one doubles team.  These ladies did a great job of seizing the momentum early and taking the doubles point, and then caring the momentum over to singles."
 
"Marina Moreno put up an amazing fight at number 1 singles despite being in the ER only 12 hours before.  We got a strong performance from Katie, Doreen, Andjela, and Kennedy to post wins at flight 2-5 singles and Leah keeps improving every time out, despite the loss at flight six singles.  Doreen Crasta clinched the match with win at flight three singles 6-3, 7-5.  It is the second time in under a week that once of the team's freshman has clinched a match for the Aces (Marisha Darzyan 3/7/16 vs GVSU)"
