Last weekend the Falcons fell to Cleveland State on the road in a narrow 4-3 result. Bowling Green picked up three singles and one doubles victory against the Vikings, while junior Paula Comella and freshman Marta Bettinelli extended their singles win streaks to three straight matches. Additionally, the duo of junior Polina Radeva and sophomore Ayumi Sasaki extended its win streak to three matches as well, as they downed their opponent 6-3. The No. 2 doubles pairing boasts a record of 6-1 on the season, as does Comella at No. 1 singles. Sophomore Marharita-Sophia Tavpash also picked up a victory against Cleveland State to improve to a 4-2 record at No. 3 singles.
Last season against then-No. 41 Notre Dame, the Falcons dropped a 6-0 decision on the road (Feb. 25), but picked up a victory at No. 1 doubles with a 6-2 win by the pairing of Paula Comella and Marharita-Sophia Tavpash. Against Detroit (Feb. 17) last year, Bowling Green earned a 5-2 victory at home after Comella, Tavpash, and Polina Radeva all earned singles wins. Additionally, the Falcons earned the doubles point by tallying wins on the No. 1 court by Comella / Tavpash and Radeva / Ayumi Sasaki at No. 2 doubles.
The Fighting Irish are off to a 4-2 start to the season, and most recently most recently shutout Wright State at home to begin a two-match win streak. Notre Dame's two losses have come by 6-1 and 4-1 results against Ohio State and Louisville, respectively, while the Fighting Irish are to face Pittsburgh at home at 10 a.m. prior to taking on the Falcons at 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. A 10-player roster is led by seniors Brooke Broda and Allison Miller and includes four freshmen, while head coach Jay Louderback begins his 28th season at the helm of the program.
After recently falling to Duquesne by a 7-0 score, Detroit has earned a 3-6 record to begin the 2018 campaign. The Titans' wins have come against Findlay, Niagara, and Saint Francis, while the team is to take on Toledo on the road on Feb. 23 prior to facing the Falcons on Feb. 25 at home. Detroit's eight-player roster is led by juniors Iris Thioux and Pauline Van Herck, as well as third year head coach Aaron Paajanen.
The Notre Dame and Detroit matches mark nearly the end of a seven-match road stretch for the Falcons, before they return home to host UIC on March 16.
