EMU took a pair of singles contests but fell shy of the Titans
FULLERTON, Calif. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan University's tennis squad dropped a dual match in the Golden State Thursday, Feb. 26, as the Eagles were knocked off by California State University-Fullerton, 5-2, at the Titan Courts.
The Eagles were swept in doubles play as Andrea Martinovska and Klara Supejova dropped a 6-1 decision to Megan Sanford and Camille De Leon at No. 1 doubles before Alejandra Barcelo Almoyna and Daphne Friedrichs were knocked off, 6-3, at No. 3 by Emilia Borkowski and Kalika Slevcove. Maria Paula Ribero and Ani Gogvadze took Danielle Phan and Alexis Valenzuela to a 7-6 decision but came up just shy.
In singles, No. 1 through No. 3 were all wins for the Titans, but at No. 4 Friedrichs defeated Pham, 7-6, 6-4, while Anna Veleva won the second match of her young career by taking down Slevcove, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at No. 6 singles.
"We played with a lot more spirit and heart today," stated Head Coach Ryan Ray. "Some were under the weather and stilled showed great fight. We will get over the hump eventually if we keep this up."
The Eagles complete their trip to California Friday, Feb. 27, when they take on the University of California Irvine. The match is slated for 1:30 p.m. PT.
