Bowling Green is currently 8-8 overall and 3-3 in league action and Western Michigan is 13-10 overall and 2-3 in MAC play.
Last weekend, April 13-14, the Eagles split their two MAC duals.
Friday, April 13, the Eagles ran into one of the hottest teams in the league in the University of Akron Zips. The home squad posted a 6-1 win over the Eagles to go to 19-2 overall and 5-1 in MAC action.
The EMU doubles team of Miriam Westerink and Nino Mebuke started the Eagles off with a 9-7 win over Zara Harutunyan and Prang Pantusart at No. 1 doubles.
Akron would go on to capture the doubles point with wins at No. 2 and No. 3.
Senior Westerink was the lone Eagle to score a singles point as she won a grueling, 6-7 (1), 6-2, 10-8, victory over Akron's Olga Shkundina at No. 2 singles. The Zips closed out the win by winning the remaining five singles matches.
Eastern came back Saturday, April 14, to edge Buffalo, 4-3.
