INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI women's tennis team dropped their first two matches of the 2010 spring season, falling 5-2 to Butler and 6-1 to Marquette on Saturday. However, the Jaguars received solid performances from several players, most notably
Hunter Bullock at No. 1 singles. Bullock continued her strong play into Sunday's match versus Illinois State, winning at No. 1 in IUPUI's 6-1 defeat.
Bullock, one of seven freshman on the IUPUI (0-2) roster, started her day with a three-set win at No. 2 singles, defeating Butler's Molly Casperson, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. Moved to No. 1 singles in the night session, the Terre Haute South-product survived a third-set super tiebreak to defeat Marquette's Paola Calderon, 6-3, 6-7(0), 11-9.
Though the Jaguars lost to Butler,
Ashley Haskett also picked up her first singles win of her career, withstanding Kate Panawash in a super tiebreak to win, 6-4, 2-6, 10-7.
On Sunday, Bullock continued her strong start to the season, picking up her second win at No. 1 singles and running her spring record to 3-0. This time Bullock took down Illinois State's Aniko Kiss 6-4, 1-6, 10-8.
