WILLIAMSVILLE, NY – After a tough weekend that saw the University at Buffalo women's tennis team drop its first two matches of the season, the Bulls got back on the winning track on Friday afternoon with a 6-1 win over Youngstown State at the Miller Tennis Center. The Bulls dropped the doubles point, but won all six matches in singles to improve to 5-2 on the season.
In doubles, the number two team of Dayana Agasieva and Laura Holterbosch picked up a 6-3 victory, but Youngstown State won matches at one and three to take the doubles point and the early lead.
However, the Bulls came out and dominated singles play as they won all six matches. Sophomore Tanja Stojanovska overcame a first set loss at one to win, 6-7 (6), 6-2, 6-2, while freshman Chantal Martinez Blanco made easy work at second singles, winning 6-2, 6-2. Fellow freshman Mercedes Losada Rubio played at third singles and won her contest, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.
Holterbosch made quick work at fourth singles with a 6-0, 6-2 win, while freshman Sanjana Sudhir won at fifth singles, 6-0, 6-3. Sophomore Christine Haraldson stepped in at sixth singles and came away with a 4-6, 6-2, 10-8 win.
