Bulldog Women's Tennis Wins Second-Straight Match

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's tennis team wrapped up its first weekend of action by winning two of three matches as the Bulldogs topped Findlay 7-2 on Sunday (Sept. 9) to conclude action on the road.

FSU took the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) encounter to improve to 2-1 overall this year.  It was also the second-straight win for the Bulldogs under first-year head coach Chad Berryhill.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the doubles round as they swept the tandem action.  The closest of the three doubles affairs was by an 8-5 score at the second spot in the lineup.

In singles competition, Ferris State posted wins at the numbers one, four, five and six positions.  The results included a three-set victory for Ana Jan at the number one flight.  Sydnie Sine, Janie Sell and Julia Fusik were also winners in singles action for the Bulldogs.
