MILWAUKEE (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The
Green Bay women's tennis team (0-3) dropped a pair of matches over the weekend,
falling 5-2 to IUPUI in Chicago on Saturday before suffering a 7-0 loss to
Marquette on Sunday at the Helfaer Tennis Stadium in Milwaukee.
Senior
Rebecca Nelson (Brookfield, Wis.)
and freshman Eleanor O'Brien
(Northfield, Minn.) both picked up singles wins for the Phoenix against IUPUI
on Saturday, as Nelson defeated Rachael Bridegroom 6-2, 6-0 at No. 4 and O'Brien
downed Jaclyn Hyman 7-5, 6-1 at No. 6.
"Nelson
has added more topspin to her baseline game," Green Bay head coach Sara Schubring said. "Her ground stroke
consistency has picked up and her transition game was flawless in singles."
In
doubles action, the freshman duo of Stephanie
Londre (Burlington, Wis.) and Rachael
Menos (Appleton, Wis.) secured a win at No. 3 against the Jaguars' pair of
Hyman and Jesika Bays 8-2.
On
Sunday at Marquette, the Golden Eagles won all three doubles contests to secure
the doubles point before sweeping the six singles matches in straight sets.
Senior Maria Anderson (Marshfield,
Wis.) put up a strong fight for the Phoenix at No. 3 singles, but ultimately
fell 7-6 (5), 6-3 to Aleeza Kanner.
Green
Bay returns to action on Saturday, Feb. 16 when it hosts the University of
Chicago for its first home meet of 2013 at Western Racquet and Fitness Center.
