Complete Statistics.
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University women's tennis team put a a strong fight, but came up short Friday, Feb. 8, suffering its first home loss of the spring. The defeat came in a 6-1 decision to the University of Louisville at the Chippewa Club.
"Despite the loss today, we made progress in our intensity on the court," said Head Coach Ryan Ray. "Klara picked up a great win over a nationally ranked player, and Ankita battled very closely with her opponent. Louisville is a great team that should be in the national rankings next week after their win over No. 41 Minnesota. So, despite some of the scores I liked what I saw on the court, and if we continue to make progress each week, we can become a tough team to beat."
The Cardinals swept the doubles point, getting off to a 1-0 lead in the match.
In singles, Klara Supejova was strong again at the No. 2 slot, scoring a 6-4, 1-6, 11-9 win over No. 62 ranked Rebecca Shine. However, she was the only EMU student-athlete to pick up a singles point in the match. Supejova is now 17-4 overall and 8-1 in singles play this spring.
The Eagles return to action Saturday, Feb. 23, with a doubleheader at the Chippewa Club. EMU hosts the University of Dayton at 1 p.m. with a nightcap against Oakland University at 8:30 p.m..
