DeKalb — The women’s tennis team suffered another loss Sunday in conference play to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

The freshman duo of Thisuri Molligoda and Maria Potsi went up against Rebecca Herrington and Audrey Berger at No. 1, but the match did not finish.

The second doubles match was won by Julia Sbercia and Peyton Gollhoffer of the Cardinals as they outscored senior Evelyn Youel and freshman Lara Slisko 6-2.

At the No. 3, Sarah Swiderski and Isabelle Dohanics clinched the doubles point for the Cardinals, knocking down senior Abigail Dekkinga and sophomore Evelyn Youel by a score of 6-2.

“We started things off slow,” said Head Coach Tanya Mahefu “We were able to pick things up toward the end of the match.”

Molligoda couldn’t get things going in match No.1 of singles competition as she lost to Berger 6-3, 3-0.

In match No. 2, Potsi was able to put up a fight, forcing an advantage set. However, it wasn’t enough to knock down Gollhoffer as she lost 6-0, 7-6.

Walker was able to put up four points in each set of match No. 3 but not enough as she was defeated by Swiderski 6-4, 6-4.

Dekkinga struggled against Dohanics in match No. 4 and lost 6-1, 6-4. Dekkinga has not won a singles match since Feb. 4.

Youel was able to capture the lone victory and point for the Huskies in match No. 5 by a score of 6-3, 1-6, 10-6

The momentum wasn’t able to carry over in match No. 6 as Slisko was defeated 6-3, 6-0.

The Huskies willlook to get their first win in conference play 10 a.m. Friday as they host Eastern Michigan University in DeKalb.

“It’s going to be a special day for the team,” Mahefu said. “We’re going to try to end the season on a good note.”
