Last Time Out: Falcons Drop Non-Conference Finale and Conference Opener
Bowling Green closed the non-conference portion of the season with a close 4-3 loss at Oakland. Eloise Saraty (No. 2), Lucy Furness (No. 3), and Leticia Fonseca (No. 6) each won in singles, with Furness and Hannah Neuman tallying another No. 2 doubles win. The loss snapped BGSU's five-match win streak. The following day, the Falcons dropped the MAC opener to Northern Illinois by a score of 6-1. Ioanna Tsadari notched a win at No. 1 singles, her 75th career combined win. In doubles, Maru Poppe and Leticia Fonseca tallied a victory for the Orange and Brown at No. 3.

Miami (OH) enters the weekend with a 6-9 overall record, including a 4-3 loss to Buffalo in their MAC opener. The RedHawks swept the doubles round to earn the first point, but only saw Laura Rico (No. 1) and Mayu Ushio (No. 5) take wins in singles. Catherine Denysiewicz-Slowek has a team-best 12-5 record in singles, tallying seven of those wins at No. 2. In doubles, she pairs with Rico for a 9-4 spring record at No. 1. At No. 2 doubles, Sara Zalukar and Emilia Valentinsson have a 9-2 record.
