BGSU looks for second-straight road win to begin dual-match play
The Bowling Green State University tennis team, after posting a win on the road to open the dual-match schedule, hits the highway once again, heading down I-75 for a Friday (Jan. 27) match at the University of Cincinnati. Head coach Penny Dean's Falcons will meet the Bearcats in a 6:00 p.m. match at Western Tennis and Fitness Club.
The Falcons are coming off of a 5-2 win at Duquesne last weekend, in the team's first dual of 2011-12. BGSU captured two of the three doubles matches, losing a 9-8 verdict after a tiebreaker at the third flight. In singles play, the Falcons captured four of the six matches to seal the victory.
Junior Mary Hill and sophomore Nikki Chiricosta were victorious in both singles and doubles play at DU, teaming up for a win at the top doubles flight. Senior Jessica Easdale and soph Emily Reuland each picked up singles wins, while juniors Maddy Eccleston and Jade Johnson won in doubles against the Dukes.
The Duquesne match was the Falcons' first action in over two months, after a very successful fall schedule. BGSU took part in four non-scored tournaments, with four of the seven team members also participating in the ITA Midwest Regional Championships. All seven players on the roster had winning records in both singles and doubles in the fall.
Cincinnati has a dual-match record of 0-2 after playing two tough opponents on the road last weekend. Fourth-year head coach Angela Wilson's Bearcats lost to No. 20 Notre Dame, 7-0, and suffered a 6-1 setback against MAC power Miami. UC participated in fall tournaments at Ohio State and MU.
The Falcons lead Cincinnati, 19-10, in the all-time series between the teams, including a 5-2 victory at the Perrysburg Tennis Center last season (Feb. 5, 2011). Two years ago, in the last meeting in the Queen City, the Falcons picked up a 5-2 win (Jan. 23, 2010). BGSU has won four consecutive series meetings, after UC had taken six of the previous seven duals. BG is 11-3 at home, 5-7 on the road and 2-0 in neutral-site matches (one early BG-UC match is site unknown). The Falcons are 11-8 against the 'Cats during Dean's head-coaching.
Following this weekend's match, the Falcons will open the home portion of the schedule with two matches at the Perrysburg Tennis Center on back-to-back days. BGSU hosts Chicago State on Saturday, Feb. 4, with the match set to begin at 3:30 p.m. Then, the Brown and Orange will welcome UIC to the PTC the next day (Feb. 5), with first serve at 9:30 a.m.
