Kalamazoo, Mich. - The Western Michigan women's tennis team hosted its only home tournament of the 2019 fall competitive schedule this weekend at the West Hills Athletic Club. The Broncos competed against student-athletes from Milwaukee, Illinois Chicago, DePaul, Butler and Iowa. 

Sophomore Elizabeth Trupp, junior Jeryn Jack, junior Valerie Riegraf and sophomore Kristina Tiraspolsky all went undefeated in singles play for the Broncos. Trupp, who won her four singles matches without dropping a single set, also went undefeated in doubles with sophomore Taylor Smith against teams from Butler and Milwaukee. Jack and Riegraf both went 3-0 individually and then teamed up to go 2-1 together in doubles action. Tiraspolsky won both of her singles contests, defeating Marija Jovicic of DePaul on Saturday and Georgia Gulin from UIC on Sunday. 

"Overall I think we had a very good weekend," said head coach Ryan Tomlinson. "We got to play with a couple new doubles teams and see what those were looking like."

Freshman Lindsey Zieglar, sophomore Kaitlyn Rogosch and senior Gabriela Slavova went 2-1 in singles respectively. Rogosch was 2-0 in doubles play with two different partners.

The Broncos went 7-1 in singles on Friday, which included a victory for sophomore Femke Tjon-A-Joe, who defeated Mayya Perova from Milwaukee after winning the third set tie-breaker by a score of 11-9. 

As a team overall, Western Michigan went 20-7 in singles and 9-5 in doubles over the three days of competition. 

"Anytime you can end a fall tournament with 29 wins and 12 losses it's a good weekend," Tomlinson remarked. "We've got some things to work on moving forward, but the two weeks that we have before our next fall tournament will help that."

The Broncos will compete at the Roberta Alison Invite next month in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
