Toledo Takes Down Cleveland State, 5-2

TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo women's tennis team hosted Cleveland State on Friday afternoon, defeating the Vikings 5-2 to earn its first win of the season.

"This was a great win for us today," head coach Tracy Mauntler said "Avenging last year's loss feels great. The competitive fire was definitely there for us. I'm proud of how much the players fought on the court from top to bottom."

After Cleveland State claimed victory on the No. 1 doubles court and the freshman duo of Cassie Alcala and Shalini Tallamraju won on court No. 3 representing the Midnight Blue and Gold, the doubles point came down to court No. 2. The experienced doubles team of juniors Eileen Carney and Christina Fuller was able to outlast the CSU tandem of Kateryna Avram and Blanche Lenoan to win 7-6 and get the Rockets off to a good start.

In singles play, Alcala and senior Patricia Panta earned victories on courts No. 2 and No, 5, respectively, to put the Rockets on the brink of victory. Cleveland State's Leonan came out on top on the No. 3 court, but then Toledo freshman Julia Kuszynski played her way to a win on court No. 4 (6-1, 6-3) to clinch the win for the Rockets. Tallamraju also defeated her Viking counterpart on Friday on the No. 6 court (6-2, 6-4).

Toledo will visit Youngstown State on Friday, Feb. 19 to start a string of five straight road matches. The Rockets will return to the Glass City on Wednesday, March 10 to host Oakland.
