Box Score

Evansville, IN– The University of Evansville Women's Tennis Team (7-12, 0-0) played host to Western Kentucky on Friday.  The Aces played a player short which forced them to forfeit both flight six singles and flight three doubles.  This contributed to the Aces 7-0 loss to the Hilltoppers. 
 
The high point on the afternoon was when Katie Delgado and Kennedy Craig were able to win at flight two doubles against Tereza Hejlova and Violetta Shatalova of Western Kentucky by a score of 6-2.  Although, due to forfeiting flight three and losing at flight one, the Aces were unable to secure the doubles point.
 
Coach Jayson Wiseman said on the match, "Western Kentucky is a very tough team with a lot of depth; they were just better than us today.  Playing a team like WKU would have been a tough battle with all of our player healthy and on the court.  To play them short-handed was just a little too much for us today."
 
"Despite the loss I am very proud of the way our team played today, we put forth maximum effort and as a coach that is all I can ask.  We did get a nice win at #2 doubles by Katie and Kennedy as they have proven to be a very formidable pair in that 2^nd position."
