GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's tennis team (1-13, 0-4 HL) continued its Horizon League regular season slate on Saturday afternoon, dropping a 5-2 decision against Valparaiso (2-13, 1-3 HL). 

The Phoenix's doubles pair of Olivia Headford and Maria Neff picked up a 6-4 win at No. 2; however, the Crusaders went on to win the doubles point, 2-1.

In singles, Green Bay grabbed an early 2-1 match advantage after Samm Pedersen (6-1, 6-1) and Neff (6-2, 6-3) defeated their opponents at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, respectively. But the Crusaders garnered each of the next two points at No. 4 and No. 2 to lead 3-2, leaving two tiebreaks left to decide the match.
