Leathernecks Fight; Not Enough in Galesburg Setback

However, a deeper dive into the box score unveiled several high marks.

GALESBURG, Ill. | The Western Illinois women's tennis team welcomed Chicago State to the Lakeside Recreation Facility Friday (Feb. 11), where it fell 7-0. However, a deeper dive into the box score featured several hard-fought sets in doubles and singles play. 

Aina Cortina-Pou and Lucky Kancherla were unable to complete their match against the Cougars' No. 1 pair, but the tight 5-3 finish marked the most points scored by the Leathernecks in doubles action Friday as well as the closest margin.

Paige Grice pushed her opponent to the limit in Western's No. 5 slot, where she notched a 6-2 win, followed by 6-2 and 0-1 losses. The Canadian freshman is the first Leatherneck to force three sets this season. Maria Rybka (No. 6) also battled for six points in her opening set but ultimately fell 7-6 and 6-1. 

Western returns to Galesburg next Thursday in a 1 p.m. outing with St. Francis.
