FORT WAYNE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) -- Despite dropping the doubles point, the Eastern Michigan University tennis team rebounded to win five of the singles matches to pick up a 5-2 non-conference victory against IPFW Saturday, Jan. 26, at the Pine Ridge Racquet and Fitness. With the victory, EMU snaps its four-match losing skid and ups its mark to 2-4 on the year. On the flipside, IPFW remains winless at 0-2.
"IPFW played some great doubles, and put us in a quick hole," said Head Coach Ryan Ray. "We responded well in singles and had to battle hard to get the win."
In doubles, Nino Mebuke (Tbilisi, Georgia-English-Spanish School) and Klara Supejova (Prague, Czech Republic) fell to Anita Henestrosa and Caterina Kiefer, 8-7. Daphne Friedrichs (Hufingen, Germany-Elisa Brandstrom Schule) and Mariya Toncheva (Burgas, Bulgaria-Sport Scholl Vasil Levski) were tripped up by Theresa Neumeyr and Miloslava Shustova, 8-3. At No. 3 the EMU duo of Ankita Bhatia (Gurgaon, India-Delhi Public Schools) and Zsofia Biro (Pecs, Hungary) produced an 8-3 victory over Kristine Lindal/Marcy Huck.
On court one, Mebuke and Henestrosa battled to three sets before Mebuke walked away with the 2-6, 7-6, 6-2 victory. At No. 2 singles, Supejova crusied to a 6-1, 6-2 win over Lindal. Kiefer topped Friedrichs 6-2 in the first set before Friedrichs tallied wins in sets two and three, 6-3 and 6-3. Toncheva downed Neumeyr on court four as she recorded an Eagle victory, 7-5, 6-3. Bhatia tallied a 6-1, 6-3 win in a match-up against Huck. IPFW's lone singles victory came when Shustova defeated Biro, 7-5, 6-2, at No. 6.
