Championship Bound, Women’s Tennis Survives Tight Semifinal Match with SBU

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The No. 28-ranked University of Indianapolis women's tennis team made it another step towards yet another GLVC Championship on Saturday, downing the west's 2-seed Southwest Baptist by a score of 4-2. The Hounds will meet Rockhurst for the title on Sunday.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds, who have been a singles dominant team all season, faltered in doubles, dropping the point after losses at the No. 1 and No. 3 courts. Tyffaine Pais and Ana Hollweg were the Hounds one victory in doubles.
 
Facing a deficit, the Hounds came out punching in singles. Benedetta Sensi and Hollweg got the ball rolling, snagging straight-sets wins at courts two and three. The Bearcats fought back at the top court, taking down Pais in two extremely tight sets.
 
With it tied 2-2, Maria Fiacan and Jimena De Pablos Hernando iced the match with back-to-back straight sets wins and sent the Hounds to the finals.
 
UP NEXT
It's Championship Sunday for the Hounds as they battle the third seed in the west in the Rockhurst Hawks. The Hounds and Hawks will battle it out in Springfield, Mo. at 1 p.m. ET.
