February 09, 2017 | Women's Tennis
Bowling Green, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University tennis team will travel to Dayton, Ohio to play against both Wright State and Dayton this weekend. The Falcons will face the Raiders Saturday, Feb. 11 at the South Regency Tennis Center beginning at 6 p.m. The team will take on the Flyers Sunday, Feb. 12 at the Five Seasons Sports Club with play set to begin at 3 p.m.
"We've had a good week of practice leading up to this weekend," head coach Stephanie Dalmacio said. "They are going to be tough ones, but we are ready for it."
On Saturday, the Falcons fell to 1-2 on the season after traveling to East Lansing, Mich. to face Michigan State. Two members of the Orange and Brown battled against the Spartans in singles play. Sophomore Polina Radeva took the first set versus Davina Nguyen, 7-6 (7-5) at the No. 4 spot. Freshman Marharita-Sophia Tavpash rallied after a first set defeat against Aslina Chua and was up 3-1 in the second set when play was halted due to Michigan State sealing the win.
Wright State enters the weekend with a 4-4 record on the season. The Raiders have defeated Saint Francis (PA), IUPUI, Dayton and Butler. BGSU leads the Raiders, 19-1, in the all-time series between the teams. Last year, head coach Eric Burns' team lost in the finals at the Horizon League Championship to Youngstown State and finished the 2016 season with a 20-9 overall record.
Dayton is 3-3 on the year with victories against Northern Kentucky, IUPUI and Butler. This is the third meeting between the Falcons and the Flyers. A year ago, Dayton went 15-10 overall. The Flyers defeated Fordham University in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Championship, but fell to Virginia Commonwealth University in the second round.
The Falcons saw success in both singles and doubles at the Raider Invitational as well as the Greater Cincinnati Invite against Wright State and Dayton. The Orange and Brown totaled five singles victories and two doubles wins against the two teams in the fall. Capturing singles wins were Radeva, Tavpash and freshman Ayumi Sasaki. The duo of sophomore Paula Comella and Tavpash only lost one game to their opponents in doubles play.
