KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The IUPUI women's tennis team looked to close out its busy three-match, three-day stretch with a win following a pair of losses to start the weekend, but the Jags were not able to emerge victorious falling to Bradley, 6-1, Sunday afternoon.
Â
The loss dipped IUPUI's record to 1-9 on the campaign.
Â
In doubles action, Bradley took the early advantage with an 8-1 win at the No. 3 doubles spot, but IUPUI's No. 2 duo of
Vanessa Whyte and
Rachael Bridegroom evened things with an 8-4 win.
Â
In the decisive doubles match,
Bobbi Modesto and
Shelby Hullett were locked in a tight contest against Adele Henke and Corey Mattson. Modesto and Hullett had an opportunity to send the match to a tiebreaker, but the Braves' duo eked out an 8-6 win to give Bradley the doubles point.
Â
In singles action, all six matches were determined in straight sets, but only one match went the Jaguars way.
Â
That match came at the No. 3 spot with Modesto winning 6-1, 6-2, over Sarah Rodefeld. The win gave Modesto her sixth singles win in her last seven matches.
Â
The Jags are back in action on Friday, Feb. 22, when they host Valparaiso at the West Indy Racquet Club at 7 p.m.
