Over the past weekend, Radeva and Sasaki picked up a win in their lone doubles match. Playing No. 2 doubles, the duo topped Toledo's Thalita Rodrigues and Kiersten Carlson by a score of 7-5 in a hard fought match. After falling behind early and trailing 5-4, the Falcon duo capitalized on a three point run to clinch the match. Bowling Green would lose the doubles point, but fight back in singles to win the match 4-3 to claim the victory in the Battle of I-75.
This is the first time this season that Radeva and Sasaki have won the award together, however, Sasaki was recognized earlier in the year. On Feb. 13, Sasaki was recognized with Marta Bettinelli following a 2-1 weekend at No. 3 doubles that included wins over Saint Louis and Cleveland State. Last season, Radeva and Sasaki won MAC Doubles Team of the Week after earning wins over Chicago State and Xavier at No. 2 doubles. As a team, this is the fourth time this season BGSU has had a doubles duo recognized as MAC Doubles Team of the Week.
Radeva and Sasaki, along with the rest of the Falcon tennis team, will be back in action on Saturday, April 13 when BGSU hosts Miami at 1 p.m. with location being weather dependent. The match will be Bowling Green's sixth MAC match of the season and their third at home. The Orange and Brown are currently 9-9 on the season, 2-3 in the MAC, while the RedHawks are 8-10 with a 4-1 conference standing.
