April 03, 2018 | Women's Tennis
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green tennis program (11-6, 3-1 MAC) continues Mid-American Conference play this week as it travels to Toledo (11-5, 1-2 MAC) for the Battle of I-75 on Friday, April 6, before returning home to host Eastern Michigan (14-5, 2-2 MAC) in the final home event of the season on Sunday, April 8.
Friday's match at Toledo will be aired on BCSN at 1 p.m., while Sunday's match against Eastern Michigan will take place at 1 p.m. outdoors in Bowling Green weather permitting, or at 5 p.m. indoors at the Perrysburg Tennis Center. The tennis schedule on BGSUFalcons.com will list the time and location for the Eastern Michigan match once it becomes available.
Last weekend, the Falcons extended their win streak to five by downing Akron on Friday afternoon. After the Falcons earned the doubles point, Bowling Green gained the 6-1 victory by also tallying five singles wins against the Zips. Junior Paula Comella and sophomore Marharita-Sophia Tavpash extended their win streak at No. 1 doubles to four straight as they were also able to earn a win on Sunday afternoon in the Falcons loss to Buffalo.
Last season against Toledo, the Falcons earned a 4-3 win at home where Comella, Polina Radeva, and Ayumi Sasaki all earned singles wins, while in doubles play Bowling Green earned wins on both courts one and two for the point. Last season the Falcons opened MAC play against Eastern Michigan, but fell in by 6-1 score on the road. A native of Varna, Bulgaria, Polina Radeva was able to earn a singles win at the No. 3 slot for a Bowling Green point on the day.
The Falcons will face off on the UT Varsity Courts Friday afternoon against Toledo, who has posted an 11-5 overall record this season. The Rockets are currently 1-2 in the MAC after most recently earning a 6-1 win against Northern Illinois (April 1), but opened conference play with losses to both Buffalo and Akron. Led by head coach Tracy Mauntler in her 15th season, Toledo's eight-player roster is led by three seniors and three juniors, and features just two sophomores to the program.
Off to a 14-5 overall record in the 2018 campaign, Eastern Michigan has had a 2-2 start in Mid-American Conference action thus far. The Eagles pair of wins came by scores of 4-3 against Akron and Ball State, while most recently Eastern Michigan fell at Western Michigan in a narrow 4-3 final. Prior to taking on the Falcons, the Eagles will face Miami and Dayton in a doubleheader on Friday, April 6 before the event at Bowling Green on April 8. A seasoned eight-player roster, Eastern Michigan features five seniors on its team, while head coach Jayson Wiseman is in his first year at the helm of the program.
The match against Eastern Michigan marks the final home event of the season for the Falcons, and keep an eye on the Bowling Green women's tennis accounts for an update on time and location for the event.
