BLACKSBURG, Va.--The Eastern Michigan University women's tennis team completed competition at the Hokie Fall Invitational this afternoon on the campus of Virginia Tech. The Eagles struggled throughout the weekend going 12-16 in singles play and 6-6 in doubles. A glimpse of hope shone through, as the Green and White 4-1 in singles on the final day and 1-1 in doubles.
Two Eagles walked away with above the .500 mark. Junior Joanna Woo came out 3-1 in singles playing, only losing in the first round. Her final game today was against teammate Emma Czarnecki, who had also only lost in the first round. The two faced each other for ninth place and Woo came out victorious, 6-1, 6-1. Flavia Micati went 2-1 over the weekend. She received a first round bye and therefore only competed in three matches throughout the weekend. She lost in the quarterfinals but won two straight. Her final opponent was Sarah Ahmed of Virginia Tech. Micati easily took both sets from her opponent, 6-1, 6-0.
Senior Vanessa Frankowski went 2-2 on the weekend. Her final opponent, Jessica Keener of Marshall, gave her a challenge in the final set, but Frankowski prevailed, 6-3, 7-5. Aditi Krishnan beat her opponent, Teresa Wang of Davidson, 6-2, 6-4. Tina Bestehorn lost in a tight match to Kim Whelan of Davidson, 6-7 (7), 6-2, 10-8.
In doubles, Czarnecki and Micati were victorious, handing Noldin and Tomaic of Radford an 8-1 loss. Krishnan and Woo teamed up for the second set of doubles playing for the Green and White on the day, but lost to Eastern Tennessee's Trotter and Volobueva, 8-2.
