MIDLAND, Mich. - The Lake Superior State (LSSU) women's tennis team (0-1) fell to the Northwood Timberwolves (0-1) by a final score of 6-1 on Friday, despite three singles matches requiring a third set to be decided.
Northwood managed to claim the doubles point with wins at all three spots, but the Lakers would keep fighting in singles play with Tayla Brasier (Bathurst, Australia), Valentina Parodi (Albissola Marina, Italy), and Julia Fraile Raton (Sant Cugat del Valles, Spain) each taking their matches to a third set.
