YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University tennis team will officially kick off its 2023 home slate when it welcomes Youngstown State University to town for a non-conference dual match Saturday, Feb. 18. The action will take place inside the Chippewa Club in Ypsilanti.
Eastern Michigan (0-2, 0-0 MAC) is in search of its first team victory of the season after falling at Cleveland State University, Jan. 29, and Chicago State University, Jan. Feb. 10. Youngstown State is 2-4 on the young campaign.
The match will follow a traditional collegiate format, with singles matches (No. 1-6) counting for one point. Meanwhile, three doubles matches will be played, but will culminate with just one awarded point. The program that takes two of the three matches will earn the point. Overall, seven points will be up for grabs.
LAST TIME OUT: The Eastern Michigan University tennis team fought valiantly, but fell short in its match at Chicago State, Feb. 10. The Cougars narrowly defeated the Eagles, 4-3, in a seven-point match played at the H-f Racquet and Fitness Club.
The match started with doubles play, where the team of Wanyi Zhang (Bejing, China-Crnjanski Gimnzija - Serbia) and Daniella Shved (Holon, Israel-ORT Holon) were able to pick up a win over Chicago State's No. 3 pairing, 6-3. It was Eastern's sole win in the doubles slate. Eastern's pairing of Sabina Brichackova (Cheb, Czech Republic-Gymnázium Jana Blahoslava) and Andrea Quiroz (Lima, Peru-La Molina 1278-Alcorn State University) fell, 6-1, in their matchup, while Prerna Vichare (Mumbai, India-Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics) and Linda Eloundou Nga (Yaounde, Cameroon-Augustine Meyou-New Mexico Military Institute) picked up three games but ultimately fell, 6-3, in the No. 2 spot.
Eastern Michigan performed well on the singles side, where Vichare, playing in the No. 2 position, cruised to a straight-set victory over CSU's Katarina Dukic (6-3, 6-2). Meanwhile, Zhang earned a hard-fought victory at the No. 3 spot. After winning the first set, 6-3, she fought off Kristina Pukhaeva for a 7-5 victory in the second and a clean sweep.
Eastern also picked up a win at the No. 4 spot in singles, with Brichackova putting together the most dominant performance of the day, a 6-0, 6-2 straight-set win.
