MILWAUKEE, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's tennis team opened the 2019 season this weekend with matches against Marquette on Saturday and Western Illinois on Sunday. While the Phoenix were swept by a tough Golden Eagles squad on the first day, they were able to bounce back against the Leathernecks to claim the doubles point and have close singles matches as well, despite the 6-1 loss.
 
"Although we are starting the season 0-2, we showed some signs of great improvement this weekend," said first-year head coach Brian Nelson. "The Marquette match was tough against a Big East contender, but we came back today and played well at the beginning against Western Illinois."
 
"Today we won all three doubles matches, winning 7-6 at both one and two doubles, and 6-1 at three doubles. In singles we split sets at no.1 singles and no. 6 singles but were unable to win either third set. We saw some great signs though and improvements over last semester and with the addition of two new ladies to the top of the lineup we are improving daily!"

Green Bay (0-2) will be back in action on Sunday, February 3rd for the first home match of the season. The team will be welcoming Northern Illinois to Western Racquet and Fitness Club at 1:00 p.m.
