Rockford, Ill. - The Toledo women's tennis team opened Mid-American Conference action with a 5-2 victory over Northern Illinois in Rockford, Ill. on Friday.
"This was such a great team win on the road," said head coach Tracy Mauntler. "We haven't beaten Northern Illinois at their place since 2012, so this was a big win. I'm proud of the tone we set in doubles and just carried it through to singles."
The Rockets picked up the doubles point with 6-3 wins on the No. 1 and No. 2 courts from junior Dee Dee Leenabanchong/senior Kokoro Chishaki and freshman Kiersten Carlson/senior Thalita Rodrigues.
