"This weekend was great from a competitive perspective," head coach Ryan Tomlinson said. "All eight players got a handful of quality matches. I think we are learning a lot about this team from our fall schedule up to this point. I am excited about our development thus far. We were 7-7 this weekend in doubles and 13-7 in singles. This was our toughest weekend of competition to date. We will continue to work and get better."
Kuhle/Lyubomirova defeated the No. 5 ranked doubles team in the nation on Saturday, but fell to the No. 24 ranked team of Kwong/Vias from Illinois Sunday morning by a score of 8-2 in the quarterfinals.
At the Indiana Regional, senior Barbare improved to 9-0 this season with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Marta Ruedas-Burgos of Purdue to claim the Flight Three Championship.
