Carbonell, Castellanos Earn Victories in Setback Against Omaha

Agatha Carbonell and Lorena Castellanos each earned their first Summit League singles victories.

Macomb, Ill. - The Western Illinois Women's tennis team (1-9, 0-4) fell on Sunday (April 11) to the Omaha Mavericks (9-12,1-3) 5-2. 

The Mavericks earned doubles victories in the No. 2 and 3 doubles to secure a 1-0 advantage. Despite not finishing their match, Maria Rybka and Lorena Castellanos led their opponents 5-4 in No. 1 pairing.  

Castellanos (No.1) started strong in singles play, battling in her first set and getting the 7-6 (5) win. Her opponent responded and took set two (6-1), forcing a third set. Neither Castellanos nor her opponent went down without a fight, but it was Castellanos who emerged victorious with a 10-7 set victory and a point for the Leathernecks. 

In the No. 3 spot, Agatha Carbonell's day went in a very similar fashion to her fellow freshman. After dropping her first set, 6-4, she turned the tables and took the next two sets, 6-4 and 10-7. This marked the fourth time this season the freshman has gone to three sets and her second singles win of the year. 

Rybka (No. 5), Aina Cortina-Pou (No.2), Mara Vidal (No. 6), and Lucky Kancherla (No.4) all fell in straight sets, securing the 5-2 victory for Omaha. 

Western Illinois returns after short rest on Tuesday (April 13) when they host in-state rival Eastern Illinois at 1 p.m.
