DES MOINES, Iowa - The University of Northern Iowa battled the Drake Bulldogs on Saturday in the Missouri Valley Conference women's tennis opener for both schools. Drake was able to score a 5-2 win over UNI in a dual that featured a trio of three-set matches.
Drake fielded a smaller lineup which limited the Bulldogs in doubles' play to only two squads. UNI would have to win only one of the two contested matches to take the doubles' point. But the Bulldogs were able to secure the point by earning two tight victories.
