The Eagles battled to secure a 5-2 victory
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University tennis team continued its hot streak as the Eagles cruised to a Sunday afternoon victory over Youngstown State University, 5-2, today, March. 1.
The win is the fourth in-a-row for Eastern (9-6), and the fifth in its last six outings.
On the singles side, it was junior Vasavi Ganesan (Tamil Nadu, India-Algappa Marticulation School) that led the way for the Green and White. She earned her second straight victory at the No. 2 spot, defeating the Penguins' Imaan Hassim (7-6, 7-5).

EMU earned a win at No. 6 singles, by default.
In doubles, EMU needed to complete just one match to earn the overall victory. After winning at the No. 3 slate, by default, it was the pairing of Ganesan and Popma that brought it home for EMU. They needed just six games to finish of the Guins in a zero-loss match, and secure the 5-2 team win for Eastern.
