Women's Tennis Earns 6-1 Win Against Ferris State

The Warriors won eight of the nine matches between singles and doubles.

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University women's tennis team (12-6 overall, 7-0 GLIAC) earned at least a share of the GLIAC Championship by defeating Ferris State (9-7 overall, 4-3 GLIAC) 6-1 on Saturday afternoon.  The Warriors have a chance to claim the outright title with a win against Northwood on April 23rd. 

SINGLES
The Warriors claimed the doubles point, and Laura Cazacu (London, England) earned the first singles win by defeating her opponent, 6-1, 6-1, at No. 3 singles. 

Linda Liong (Sarawak, Malaysia) followed her with a 6-2, 6-0 victory at No. 4 singles. 

Playing in the No. 2 spot, Marta Komar (Inowroclaw, Poland) was able to edge her opponent, 6-2, 6-3.  That victory clinched the match for WSU. 

Anais Ruyssen (Nantes, France) recorded a 6-0, 7-5 win at No. 1 singles. 

The last singles win for the Warriors came from Brianna Douglas (Dayton, Ohio / Chaminade Julienne), who claimed a 7-5, 4-6, 10-7 victory at No. 5 singles.

Suki Mandair (Dexter, Mich. / Ann Arbor Skyline) lost her match due to retiring. 

DOUBLES
The Warriors made quick work of the Bulldogs in doubles, winning all three matches.  Sabrina Laynes (Saginaw, Mich. / Heritage) and Douglas were the first to finish, as the pair posted a 6-1 win at No. 3 doubles. 

Following them was Ruyssen and Komar, who also collected a 6-1 victory at No. 1 doubles. 

Cazacu and Liong were able to outlast their opponent, 7-5, playing in the No. 2 spot. 

FROM COACH SNYDER
"Today the girls came out strong for our last home match of the season and maintained the same momentum from yesterday.  Our seniors have been our leaders all year, and it was a perfect way to close out their last match on our home courts.  The rest of the team also did a great job contributing to today's win and brought enthusiasm, heart, and determination from start to finish."

UP NEXT
The Warriors will go after the outright regular-season GLIAC Championship on April 23rd in a road match against Northwood.
