DETROIT – In another in-region dual, the No. 38 ranked UIndy women's tennis team fell to Wayne State 5-2. The Greyhounds move to 5-9 on the season, while the Warriors improve to 4-6. 

After a narrow fall in the doubles point, singles wins from Liza Simak and Linya Chen weren't enough to pace Wayne State.
