INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI women's tennis team saw it's three-game winning streak snapped on Friday night (Feb. 26) as Cincinnati waltzed to a 7-0 victory over the Jaguars inside West Indy Racquet Club. 

The visiting Bearcats (6-2) captured the doubles point by virtue of victories at the Nos. 1 and 3 spots in the lineup. Rachel Swartwood and Sara Sherif lost at the top spot 6-0 while Mariella Pessina and Bobbi Modesto were dropped at No. 3, 6-3. IUPUI's duo of Samantha Mayer and Valeriia Lavrenchuk were locked in a 4-4 tie at the No. 2 slot in the lineup when doubles play was halted. 

In singles, IUPUI dropped all six decisions, but pushed the Bearcats to the brink in multiple matches. 

Swartwood and Sherif won their opening sets at Nos. 2 and 3 respectively, but both succumbed in three-set decisions. Swartwood opened with a 6-4 victory, but then fell 6-2 and 10-4 in a decisive 10-point tiebreaker. Sherif opened with a 6-4 win, but dropped subsequent sets 6-0, 6-3 at No. 3 singles. Lavrenchuk put up a solid fight at the top spot against UC's Ali Miller, falling 6-2, 6-4.
