SAGINAW, Mich. -- The Michigan Tech women's tennis team swept Saginaw Valley State, 8-0, in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match today at Potential Energy Racket Club.

The Huskies won every match that was finished during the day, with Whitney Schoep's number five singles match unfinished because of time restraints at the indoor facility.

Tech swept the three doubles points with Samantha Jang-Stewart and Monika Malinska combining at number two doubles for an 8-0 victory. Silvia Oliveros and Amy Palmgren were 8-4 winners at number one doubles, while Heather Neff and Schoep clipped their number three doubles foes in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (4).

In singles, neither Oliveros, Malinska, or Neff surrendered more than three games in their respective wins at number two, three, and six. Palmgren topped SVSU's Katie Hanover, 6-4, 6-3 at the top flight. At number four, Jang-Stewart was a 6-4, 6-4 victor.

"We came ready to play today and set the table for singles with the success in doubles," said head coach Mike Axford. "All of our matches went really well, and it was a very solid team win to start the weekend."

Michigan Tech (6-5, 4-4 GLIAC) will face perennial GLIAC power Northwood tomorrow at 10 a.m.
