CLEVELAND, OH – The University at Buffalo women's tennis team picked up its ninth victory of the season with a 4-3 win at Cleveland State on Saturday. UB is now 9-1 on the season.
The Bulls took the doubles point, which ended up being the difference as the two teams split singles action. Nikoleta Antoniou-Karademitrou and Gabriella Akopyan came away with a 6-1 win at three, while CSU won 6-1 at second doubles. The first doubles match went nearly the distance, but the Bulls scored the 7-5 victory courtesy of Pia Schwarz and Azra Deniz Comlek.
In singles, three of the six matches went three sets. Cleveland State would go on to take a 3-1 lead in the match following victories at first, second, and fifth singles, but then the Bulls began to take charge.
Ambre Amat won at fourth singles, 7-6 (5), 6-1 and sophomore Mariana Carvajal Torres won at sixth singles, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, tying the match up at 3-3, coming down to third singles where Akopyan faced Selma Tounsi. Akopyan won the first set 6-2, before losing the second 7-5. The senior came back and won 6-4 in the third to clinch the match for UB.
The Bulls return to action on Thursday when they host Youngstown State at 2:30 at Miller Tennis Center.
