Eagles shut out by nationally ranked Cornhuskers
LINCOLN, Neb. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University women's tennis team ran into the 17th ranked University of Nebraska Cornhuskers here Saturday, Jan. 12, indoors in the University of Nebraska Tennis Center and the Eagles dropped a 7-0 decision.
"We ran into a very talented Nebraska team today," EMU Head Coach Ryan Ray said. "I think at times we pushed them, but the stronger team came out on top. I think we did a good job of battling in second sets, and not going away, which is vital for success later in the season."
The loss drops the Eagles to 1-1 on the season while the Huskers are 1-0.
Nebraska took the first doubles win at the No. 1 position, with Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova (NU) toppling Klara Supejova and Nino Mebuke (EMU), 8-3. The second doubles victory quickly followed at the No. 2 position sealing the doubles point for the Huskers, where Stefanie Weinstein and Janine Weinreich (NU) ousted Daphne Friedrichs and Mariya Toncheva (EMU), 8-2.
Due to a rule change this season, if the doubles point is decided in the first two concluding matches then the third doubles match is left unfinished. This was the case at the No. 3 position where Maggy Lehmicke and Izabella Zgierska (NU) were leading Zsofia Biro and Ankita Bhatia (EMU), 6-4; however the match was left unfinished.
Nebraska and Eastern Michigan entered singles play with the Huskers leading 1-0. Nebraska extended its lead to 2-0 at the No. 5 position when Lehmicke (NU) swept past Biro (EMU), 6-1, 6-0. The lead jumped to 3-0 shortly after when Weatherholt (NU) defeated Supejova (EMU) at the No. 2 position, 6-2, 6-1.
The Huskers sealed the win going up 4-0 at the No. 1 position. Nebraska's Veresova battled hard to emerge victorious against Eastern Michigan's Mebuke, 6-2, 6-2. The Huskers maintained the shutout moving to 5-0 at the No. 3 position where Weinstein (NU) beat Friedrichs (EMU), 6-2, 6-2.
Even with the results of the dual already set in stone, the last two matches were shootouts to the finish. At the No. 4 position, the lead was pushed to 6-0 when Nebraska's Weinreich defeated Eastern Michigan's Toncheva, 6-2, 6-4. The dual wrapped up at the No. 6 singles position with Nebraska's Izabella Zgierska defeat over Ankita Bhatia (EMU), 6-0, 7-5.
