The Sioux Falls women's tennis team (4-6) ended spring break
play with a 7-2 win over Kentucky Wesleyan College.
“The girls played very well today,” said head coach Kevin
Grebin. “It was nice to win the last match of the week, as we will now prepare
to resume conference play next weekend in Fargo.”
The Cougars opened the match by winning two of the three
doubles matches. KWC senior Jamie Brown and sophomore Danielle Hadler downed
USF's Alison Kauss and Stacey Beard in first flight doubles, 8-3. USF bounced
back to take the court two match, as Julia Iversen and Caitlin Vance knocked
off Haley Kauffman/Sammy Jo Brett, 8-4. The Cougars claimed the No. 3 match via
forfeit.
In singles action, Kauss posted a 6-1, 6-0 victory in the
No. 1 slot and Rachel Hussey topped Brett at third singles, 6-2 and 6-0.
Redshirt junior Molly Seigenthaler and sophomore Morgan DeLange bageled their opponents
on courts four and five, respectively, while Iversen claimed a win in No. 6
singles.
Hadler picked up a point for the Panthers by defeating Beard
at second singles, 6-1, 6-1.
USF will return to its NSIC slate next weekend with a trio
of league matches against the University of Mary, MSU-Moorhead and Southwest
Minnesota State.
