Lopers Down Top NAIA Squad

Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska-Kearney women's tennis team flew past the William Woods Owls, 5-2, Saturday afternoon in Fulton, Mo.

The Lopers improve to 8-2 while WWU, ranked sixth in the NAIA, falls to 1-3.

Things didn't look good for Lincoln sophomore Fidan Ibrahimova and German freshman Trang Tran as the pair trailed their number two doubles match by a 4-0 score. However they came back to tie things at six and then scored six straight to win the tiebreaking point, 7-1. UNK allowed just two points in the other two doubles matches.

Ibrahimova's long day wasn't done as she needed three sets to win at number three singles (6-4, 4-6, 6-2) over Sri Lanka freshman Ruksika Wijesooriya. Kansas freshman Brooklyn Hunter had the clinching win at number six (6-2, 6-2) with Papillion junior Claire Neil taking her number five match in three sets (2-6, 6-4, 10-7).

UNK hosts the Southwest Minnesota State Mustangs next Saturday. That dual was originally set for Grand Island but likely will be moved to Harmon Park in Kearney due to the projected warm weather.
