ROCK WOMEN’S TENNIS DOWNS WEST LIBERTY

 

            WEST LIBERTY, W. Va. – Senior Kelly Anderson (Gahanna, Ohio/Gahanna HS) and freshman Ashley Michaux (Jeannette/Jeannette HS) had a hand in pair of wins Wednesday to lead the nationally ranked (29th) Slippery Rock University women’s tennis team to a 5-3 win over hosting West Liberty State College.

 

           Anderson and Michaux teamed up to win the No. 2 doubles match before Michaux won the No. 3 singles match and Anderson captured the No. 4 singles match.

 

           Rounding out The Rock wins were victories at the No. 1 and No. 2 spots by junior Jessica Bungo (Indiana/Indiana HS) and senior Ella Reilly (Randwick, Australia/Fahan HS).

 

           The win gave SRU a final regular-season record of 19-2. The Rock, the No. 1-ranked team in the East Region, anticipates receipt of an NCAA Division II regional tournament berth on Thursday.

 

           The Rock also expects to be awarded a host role for the May 2-3 regional event.
