AKRON, Ohio — The University of Akron women's tennis team fell in a close 4-3 Mid-American Conference decision against Western Michigan on Sunday afternoon at the LaTuchie Tennis Center.
"Today was a tough loss for us," head coach Brandon Padgett said. "We played well in singles for the most part, but doubles let us down. We have to continue to work on playing tougher during the big points, mentally and physically. I don't believe in moral victories, but we lost to Western Michigan 7-0 last year, and today we put ourselves in position to win, which is what we ask of our players each and every match.
