BGSU returns to action next weekend at Cleveland State
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University tennis team wound up with a split on a weekend trip to Northeast Ohio, falling to host Youngstown State University, 6-1, on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 11) at the YSU Indoor Tennis Center.
Isabella Baker picked up a win in straight sets at the number-four singles flight for the Falcons (3-3), while Lucy Furness and Hannah Neuman captured a 6-2 win at the top doubles flight.
The Penguins (2-6) took two of the three doubles matches to earn the afternoon's initial point, and won straight-sets matches at the third and first singles flights. Baker swept through her singles match, closing out a straight-sets victory over YSU's Lili Minich, but the hosts were able to pick up a win in three sets at the second flight, for the decisive point.
Furness and Neuman were never seriously challenged in their doubles win, bursting out to 4-0 lead en route to the 6-2 victory. At the second flight, Baker and Leticia Fonseca were within a 3-2 score before their Penguin foes took momentum and closed out the match.
In singles play, Baker breezed through her opening set, then battled back from 3-0 and 5-3 deficits in her second set to capture a 7-5 victory.
Three of YSU's singles wins required three sets.
