INDIANAPOLIS- The Greyhound tennis teams opened their spring schedule with wins over Illinois-Springfield at the UIndy Tennis Center Saturday afternoon. The UIndy men were 6-3 winners while the women picked-up a 7-2 victory over the Prairie Stars.
Alex Poe (Anderson, Ind./Frankton),
Werner Henning (Greenwood, Ind./Greenwood H.S.) and
Jeff Price (Muncie, Ind./Delta ) were all 2-0 on the day, winning their doubles matches, then taking straight-set wins in singles play. Henning won easily at No. 5, taking a 6-0, 6-3 victory. David Schock was the other singles winner, making his first appearance as a Greyhound with a 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 6 singles.
The women also started with wins in two of three doubles matches.
Alena Perez-Majul (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) teamed with
Maggie Ashby (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) for an 8-3 win at top doubles but had to come-from-behind to post a win in singles play. After dropping the first set 6-7 (2), Perez-Majul rebounded to take the next two sets rather handily, 6-2 and 6-1.
Lee Matthews (Dayton, Ohio/Beavercreek) outlasted her opponent at No. 2 (6-2, 7-6) while
