Peoria, Ill.- The Western Illinois women's tennis team drop its match against in-state rival Bradley, 4-2, at Markin Courts.

The No. 1 doubles match was unfinished.

Junior Kim Lennartsson (Kungsbacka, Sweden/Katrine Lund Gymnasium/Southern Mississippi) was victorious at the No. 2 singles spot, defeating Bradley's Kelly Donohue, 6-2, 6-4. Freshman Kate Kennedy (Pekin, Ill./Community) won the other point for Western by defeating Krubeck, 6-1, 6-3, at No. 5 singles.
