Richmond, KY. - The UConn women's tennis team continued their non-conference success with a 4-2 win over Eastern Kentucky. The Huskies single competitors carried them to victory to clinch the 4-2 win.
The Huskies started off slow, falling in two of the three doubles matchups with the third matchup going unfinished, but bounced back in the single matchups, winning four of five, with the sixth matchup going unfinished. The Huskies received wins from Olivia Wright, Caroline Hinshaw, Victoria Matos, and Cameron Didion. With the win, the Huskies improve to 9-2 overall.
"This was a gut check win for our team today," stated head coach Glenn Marshall. "Coming off a highlight victory at Xavier yesterday, we had to fight extremely hard today. Eastern Kentucky was a team with deep talent, and they fought tough and had us on the ropes. After losing the doubles point, we had to find our energy and focus going into singles. It was a slow start in singles, but we eventually dug deep and came back from losing the first set on Olivia's and Caroline's matches. They both had three set thrilling victories, which showed their resolve in the face of adversity. Our fight and toughness was on display today, and we found a way to earn a hard fought victory."
