OLEAN, N.Y. – The Western Michigan women's tennis team improved to 5-0 on the season after sweeping a road double-header at St. Bonaventure 7-0, 4-0 on Saturday afternoon.
 
Three of WMU's five wins this season have now come on the road after a win at Valparaiso last Saturday.
 
"Today was another step forward for this team," said head coach Ryan Tomlinson. "We played our best match to date in the morning match and that carried through to the second. We possibly have five matches in 10 days, so we need to rest up and also get to work on some things."
 
MATCH 1 – 7-0
The Broncos won all three doubles matches to earn the doubles point. Femke Tjon-A-Joe and Kristina Tiraspolsky defeated Andrea Roque and Anastasia Gubanova 7-5 at No. 1. The freshmen duo of Ana Guadiana and Karin Hamilton took down Sofia Franco and Paula Velilla 6-3 and the team of sophomore Lindsey Zieglar and junior Kaitlyn Rogosh defeated Emily Stanley and Buse Gunay 6-3.
 
In singles play Tjon-A-Joe had a tight match at No. 1 with Gubanova, winning 6-2, 4-6, 11-9. Ziegler defeated Franco at No. 2 6-1, 6-1, while Guadiana had the same score line in her win over Roque at No. 3. Hamilton was slotted at No. 4 singles and beat Stanley 6-2, 6-1, while Rogosh won at No. 5 6-4, 6-0. Freshman Maya Perkucin picked up a win at No. 6 over Velilla 6-3, 6-1 to wrap up the match.
 
MATCH 2 – 4-0
Tjon-A-Joe and Tiraspolsky defeated Roque and Franco 6-2 at No. 1, while Ziegler and Rogosh won over Gunay and Velilla 6-0 to clinch the doubles point.
