TOLEDO, Ohio (BGSUFalcons.com) - The Bowling Green State University tennis team was victorious at every flight en route to a 7-0 victory over the University of Detroit Mercy Sunday afternoon (Feb. 11). The non-conference dual match was held at the Shadow Valley Tennis Club in Toledo.
With the win, the Falcons improve to 5-3 in duals this season to date, and Penny Dean's team has won four consecutive matches. Sunday's victory was BGSU's third in as many days. Detroit drops to 1-4 on the season.
The Falcons lost a total of just seven games in sweeping the three doubles matches. The team of junior Andrea Volle and freshman Katia Babina lost just a single game at the second flight, while the Falcons' top-flight duo of junior Jenna Nussbaum and sophomore Kelsey Jakupcin lost a total of only two games.
In third-flight action, the Falcon duo of senior captains Ashley Jakupcin and Erica Wolfe won an 8-4 decision over their Titan foes.
In singles play, BGSU lost a total of only 18 games in the sixth scored matches, including only four games in eight total sets at flights three through six.
Freshman Samantha Kintzel won a first-set tiebreaker over UDM's Annie Moore at the #1 flight, and won the second set to take her match. Sisters Ashley and Kelsey Jakupcin were winners at flights two and three, respectively, with Ashley losing only five games and Kelsey just two.
Nussbaum, a tri-captain along with Ashley Jakupcin and Wolfe, breezed through her match vs. Amy Inman, winning by a 6-0, 6-0 outcome at the fourth flight.
Sophomore Stefanie Menoff lost only one game in her win over the Titans' Stephanie Hill at the fifth flight. Menoff now has a team-leading 24 overall wins this season, including a spectacular singles mark of 14-1.
Volle matched Menoff's Sunday singles success, losing only one first-set game in her win at the sixth flight. Soph Libby Harrison won an 8-2 outcome in a pro-set match that was not included in the overall dual-match scoring.
