Eastern was swept in doubles play before taking two singles matches

BUFFALO, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan University's women's tennis team dropped a 5-2 decision to the University at Buffalo in a Mid-American Conference dual match Sunday, March 22. The Eagles fell to 5-10, 1-1 MAC with the loss, while the Bulls improved to 5-7 after picking up their first MAC win of the 2015 campaign.

Doubles play began with a pair of 6-3 decisions in favor of Buffalo as Ani Gogvadze and Maria Paula Ribero dropped their No. 2 doubles match, while Daphne Friedrichs and Alejandra Barcelo Almoyna fell in the No. 3 spot. Andrea Martinovska and Klara Supejova were trailing 5-4 at the No. 1 position before it was called due to the doubles point being decided after the first two matches.

In singles, the Eagles only saw a pair of victories, coming by way of their No. 1 doubles team. Supejova cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Margarita Kotok at the No. 1 singles position, while Martinovska used a three-set decision, 6-4, 4-6, 1-0, to defeat Dayana Agasieva at No. 4 singles. In the other four matches, Eastern was unable to take their opponent to three sets, dropping four two-set matches.

"We got outplayed by a team that played more confident and aggressive than us today," stated Head Coach Ryan Ray. "It's a disappointing loss, and we need to get back to work and fix a number of things for next weekend."

The Eagles return to the court Sunday, March 29, when they host Western Michigan University. Eastern will take on the Broncos at 1 p.m. at the Chippewa Club.
