INDIANAPOLIS – The IUPUI women’s tennis team concluded a three-day, four-match stretch on Sunday falling to Chicago State, 4-3.

 

The Jaguars were able to jump in front early winning the doubles point as Shelby Hullett and Vanessa Whyte led the No. 2 doubles tandem to an 8-6 victory, before IUPUI captured the No. 3 doubles match.

 

In singles play, Hullett and Whyte each came up short in straight sets to Chicago State’s No. 1 and 2 singles players to start things off.

 

Unfortunately for the Jags, Alisha Cummings and Lee Matthews didn’t fare much better as they also dropped straight-set decisions helping Chicago State close out the 4-3 win.

 

The loss dropped IUPUI to 1-13 on the season.

 

The Jaguars begin conference play this weekend in Las Vegas when they will take on UMKC, Oakland, Southern Utah, and Centenary.
