TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo women's tennis team played outside at the UT Varsity Courts for the first time this season, defeating Oakland 7-0.

"Proud of the effort that led to the decisive win today," head coach Tracy Mauntler said. "The windy conditions were difficult but the players showed a lot of mental toughness today."

Both Rocket doubles tandems were victorious on Wednesday. Sophomore Sloane Teske and freshman Julia Kuszynski won on the top court, 6-2, and sophomore Laura Morera and senior Patricia Panta defeated their Oakland counterparts on the No. 2 court, 6-0. Due to the Golden Grizzlies only having five players available to play on Wednesday, no match was played on the No. 3 doubles court and Toledo was awarded a win by default. The same ruling was applied to the No. 6 singles court.

The Rockets won all five singles matches to close out the 7-0 victory. Teske and Kuszynski finished their singles contests first, winning on courts No. 2 and 4, respectively. Freshman Shalini Tallamraju won on court No. 5, and she was quickly followed by fellow freshman Cassie Alcala on the top court. Junior Elieen Carney closed out the afternoon with a win on the No. 3 court. After winning the first set 6-1, Carney found herself behind 5-4 in the second, but battled back to win 7-5 and close out the Rockets' victory.

Toledo opens Mid-American Conference play on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at Miami.
