INDIANAPOLIS - The sixth-seeded Green Bay women's tennis
team suffered a 4-0 loss to third-seeded Detroit Friday afternoon in the first
round of the 2010 Horizon League Championships. The match was played indoors at
the Butler Bubble as rain forced day one of the competition inside.
Detroit opened the contest securing the doubles point
with an 8-3 decision at No. 2
and an 8-1 win at No. 3.
In singles, Svetlana Flankova got the Titans started with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph over
Lauryn Grimando (Oak Brook, Ill.) at No. 4. Sophie Sundstrom followed in the
third spot with a 6-1, 7-5 victory over Jennifer Bradfield (Fairfield, Iowa),
while the clincher came from
Amanda Cornwell
over Morgan Weuve (Green Bay, Wis.) in the second position, 6-4, 7-6 (2).
The other matches were not completed once the winning point
was clinched.
Green Bay will play at 8 a.m. Saturday in the fifth-place
match against the loser of the Butler/Youngstown State match.
