YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Akron women's tennis team won their eighth straight match with a 4-3 victory against Youngstown State on Monday afternoon at Boardman Tennis Center.
With the win, the Zips improve to 9-2 on the season, while Youngstown State drops to 4-4.
"Today, it was obvious that we were both physically and mentally tired. We played a very good Youngstown State team and we knew it was going to be a difficult task with it being our fourth match in four days. That being said, we clinched the match at 4-1 and Karalina [Maksimava] and Ariadna [Blinova] lost two extremely close, heartbreaking matches," said head coach Brandon Padgett.
