DAYTON, Ohio – Women's tennis split in singles and nearly took the doubles point and the win but the Flyers walked away with a 4-3 victory over the Titans in Dayton earlier today.

A loss at No. 1 sent the Titans looking for that last win to secure the doubles point. Senior Erin Weldon (Kalamazoo, MI/Mattawan) and freshman Julia Fernandes (Mississauga, ON/John Fraser) paired up at No. 2 and lost in a tiebreaker 9-8 (8-6).

In singles, the No. 1 and No. 2 Titans, sophomore Carolina Salas Espinosa (Monterrey, Mexico/Preparatoria No. 7) and Strakhova, both won their matches in straight sets.
