TOLEDO, OH - The Toledo women's tennis team was unable to secure a victory on senior day, dropping a competitive Mid-American Conference match to Eastern Michigan, 4-3 on Friday at Shadow Valley Tennis Club.
With the loss, the Rockets fell to 13-8 overall and 4-3 in conference action.
UT started out hot, claiming the doubles points with wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 spots.
Senior Pia Rygh and sophomore Lauren Thai earned their 12th win as a doubles team at the top spot, with a 6-3 win, while junior Mackenzie Bowman and freshman Sidnay Huck won by the same score at the three slot.
With a 1-0 lead heading into singles play, UT dropped matches at Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5 singles, as the Eagles clinched the match.
