WOMEN NETTERS TOP ASHLAND, 7-2

Huskies Tennis Team Improves Record to 5-5

ASHLAND, Ohio -- All six Michigan Tech women's tennis players won at least one match in a 7-2 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference victory over Ashland today. The Huskies concluded their three-match road trip with a 1-2 record and are now 5-5 overall, 3-4 in the league.

Tech opened the match in strong fashion by sweeping the doubles matches for a 3-0 team lead. Samantha Jang-Stewart and Katie Lindahl gained a hard-fought, 8-6, victory at the number two flight. The Huskies won at number one and number three doubles both by 8-3 scores.

In singles, Michigan Tech swept each of the top four flights. Amy Palmgren made quick work of Kate Goudy at number one, 6-2, 6-1. Jang-Stewart clinched the team's win with a 6-4, 6-0 triumph at number three singles.

At number two singles, Silvia Oliveros was able to play through nagging injuries to come away with a 6-3, 6-2 win. Heather Neff and Lindahl lost their number five and six matches in straight sets before Whitney Schoep put a cap on the team victory with a win in the closest match of the day. The freshman claimed a 3-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-4) triumph over AU's Morgan Sanders.

"It was good to finish the weekend with a win," said head coach Mike Axford. "We played with confidence and it was good to see us adjust to playing outdoors after the first two matches of the weekend were indoors."

Michigan Tech will be off until a trip to Saginaw Valley State on Saturday, Oct. 21.
