Women's Tennis Falls in Back-to-Back League Bouts

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) –  The Green Bay women's tennis team hit the road to continue league play this weekend for two matches in as many days, opening things with a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to Valparaiso on Friday followed by a 7-0 loss to UIC on Saturday.

Valparaiso 4, Green Bay 3

The match with Valparaiso was the closest Green Bay came thus far to earning its first league victory of the season, as the match came down to the No. 1 court where Green Bay's Olivia Headford battled through an injury against Valparaiso's Meg Modesto with the match tied 3-3.

Despite a valiant effort, Headford was unable to secure the point (7-6, 6-1) as the Crusaders went on to earn it first league win of the season, 4-3.

UIC 7, Green Bay 0

The Flames entered the Saturday afternoon matchup with the Phoenix winners of four straight and showed no intentions of letting that streak end. UIC dominated its way to a 7-0 shutout victory over Green Bay after wins on the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles courts to own a 1-0 advantage heading into singles.

The Flames went on to secure its fifth-straight victory after picking up wins on the No. 1-6 singles courts, clinching a 7-0 victory and handing the Phoenix its second loss of the weekend.
