Women's Tennis Drops Close League Match to UW-Green Bay, 4-3

   Green Bay, Wis..-- The Youngstown State women's tennis team continued league play on Sunday morning against UW-Green Bay at the Western Racquet Club. The Penguins once again had to compete with one player short due to an injury. YSU won three of the singles matches, including two tie-breaker wins, but lost the match due to default at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles.

    Gina Peretti won her match easily over Jennifer Tan, 6-0, 6-0 in the No. 2 spot. Freshmen Tanisha Welch and Kelly Culbertson each put up a hard fought battle for the points at the No. 3 and 4 spots. Welch walked away with the  4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over UW-Green Bay's Aschley Jurgella. Culbertson picked up her point by beating Laura Bartingale 3-6, 6-4, 6-0.

    The Phoenix swept the two doubles matches and won at No. 1 and 5 singles. With the two default wins, UW-Green Bay won the match 4-3.

    The women's tennis team will return home to face Detroit on Saturday at 5 p.m. and then wrap up the regular with another home contest against Butler on Sunday morning.
