Women's Tennis Starts GLIAC Play With Win Over SVSU

The Warriors won every match in doubles and singles.

MIDLAND, Mich. -- The Wayne State University women's tennis team (6-5 overall, 1-0 GLIAC) began GLIAC play by defeating Saginaw Valley State (5-6 overall, 0-2 GLIAC) 7-0 on Saturday afternoon at the Midland Tennis Center. 

SINGLES
After the Warriors took the doubles point, Marta Komar (Inowroclaw, Poland) carried that momentum into singles, earning a quick 6-0, 6-1 victory at the No. 2 spot. 

Following her, Anais Ruyssen (Nantes, France) was strong at No. 1 singles, collecting a 6-2, 6-2 win.  

Playing at No. 3 singles, Laura Cazacu (London, England) posted a 6-2, 6-2 victory.  That win clinched the match for the Green and Gold. 

Keeping the winning streak going, Carla Jewell (Hobart, Ind.) defeated her opponent at No. 6 singles, 6-4, 6-0. 

Not to be outdone, at No. 4 singles, Brianna Douglas (Dayton, Ohio / Chaminade, Julienne) recorded a 6-1, 7-5 win. 

To close the match, Suki Mandair (Dexter, Mich. / Ann Arbor Skyline) won a three-set battle, 7-5, 2-6, 10-5.

Playing at No. 2 doubles, Cazacu and Liong teamed up for a 6-2 victory. 

The No. 3 doubles team of Douglas and Sabrina Laynes (Saginaw, Mich. / Heritage) earned a 6-2 win.

FROM COACH SNYDER
"Todays match was a solid start to the season.  In Florida, we never really had the opportunity to find a rhythm, so today was a great opening match for conference play," coach Sheila Snyder said.  

UP NEXT
The Green and Gold will stay on the road for a match against Purdue Northwest on March 25.  That contest is set to start at 12 PM at Park Forest Tennis and Health Club.
