In the final home match of the season for No. 50 University of Indianapolis women's tennis, it was visiting Northern Kentucky that was able to earn the upset, 5-4, at Center Grove High School.

The highly-competitive match featured a quartet of three-set matches in singles with the two teams splitting the decisions to help the Norse's (8-7, 4-1 GLVC) advantage in doubles hold up against the Greyhounds (10-7, 2-2 GLVC).

Freshman Brooke Boyts and senior Meghan Teunis earned UIndy's only doubles win by downing Jenny Hand and Jillian Sturgeon, 8-6, at No. 3. The Norse took an 8-3 win at No. 1 and 8-5 at No. 2 to hold the lead, 2-1, entering singles.

The remaining four matches all went three sets and Northern Kentucky was able to clinch the match at No. 4 singles as Hand fought back from dropping the first set to defeat Kasey Land 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. Whitney Thomas also fought from behind for the Norse's fourth point with a 2-6, 6-0, 7-5 win against Teunis at No. 5.
