SPRINGFIELD, Mo – For the past five seasons the GLVC has run through the UIndy women's tennis team, and the Greyhounds made the first steps of their journey to make it six straight seasons today, picking up a big quarterfinal win against the 4-seeded Lewis Flyers.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Flyers kept the pace with the Hounds in doubles play, forcing a tiebreak at court two, but the fire of Tyffaine Pais and Ana Hollweg was too much to overcome. On the other side of it was Maissane Aik and Valetin Colin who snagged a 6-3 score at the third court to give the Hounds an early lead.
 
The Flyers continued and continued to battle but the Hounds kept them just enough away. Lewis snagged first sets at No. 2 singles and No. 3 singles, but fell victim to comeback efforts by both Bendetta Sensi and Hollweg. The clincher came from Maria Fiacan who after dropping the second set, roared back with a 6-3 decider.
 
UP NEXT
The Hounds will battle SBU in the semifinal in Springfield tomorrow afternoon. The match is set to begin at 1 p.m. ET.
