BOWLIN GREEN, Ohio – The Toledo women's tennis team took the court this weekend for the first time this fall at Bowling Green's Dynamic Dual Fall Invitational. The Rockets combined for a 24-12 record in singles and doubles play, led by senior Cassie Alcala and Gaby Rondon both going undefeated in singles and doubles play.

"I am proud of the way Cassie Alcala and Gaby Rondon performed this weekend," head coach Tracy Mauntler said. "Cassie trained and competed a lot this summer and it shows. She's picking up right where she left off last year. Gaby is an incredibly mature competitor for a freshman. I've been so impressed by the way she practices, and this weekend she showed me what she's capable of this season."

All four of Tracy Mauntler's newest Rockets earned their first wins on the opening day of the invitational on Friday. Rondon teamed with Alcala in doubles for a victory and posted a two-set sweep against Youngstown State's Maria Oliveria. Alcala and Rondon ended the weekend with 4-0 records in singles and doubles.

Freshman Jone Ibanez registered a huge win over Miami's Cathering Denysiewicz-Slowek in a three-set super tiebreaker. Sophomore Natasha Opaciuch earned a two-set victory over Niagara's Jaida Borg. Ibanez ended the weekend with a combined 4-2 record.

Sophomore Audrey Moutama teamed up with senior Julia Kuszynski for a 1-2 doubles record and posted a 2-1 singles record. Opaciuch shared a court with senior Shalini Tallamraju and earned a 2-1 doubles record and an individual 2-1 record for the weekend.

Over three days, the Rockets went head-to-head with familiar foes from Miami, Bowling Green, DePaul, and Youngstown State. Niagara and the University of Northwestern Ohio were also among the teams competing at Keefe Courts.

Toledo will be back in action when it sends a select group to compete in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) on Thursday-Monday, Oct. 12-16 in East Lansing, Mich.
