In singles action, though, FSU captured four of the five completed flights to pull out the win.

Ferris State got straight-set wins from Nika Hein and one singles along with Brittany Lavenant, Meylor and Patricia Martin Gomez at the four thru six flights, respectively.

With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 5-6 overall this campaign.
