Every one of the nine individual matches today was lopsided. Fortunately for the Huskies a majority went in the win column. Both the top two doubles teams won by 8-1 scores, and FSU gained an 8-2 victory at No. 3.
Sophomores
Victoria Zhilkina and
Ploy Suthijindawong each won their singles matches in convincing fashion (6-1, 6-1) at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. Suthijindawong improved to 4-0 in GLIAC singles, while Zhilkina advanced her season record to 3-1 in league play.
Nathalia Rondelli’s 6-2, 6-1 triumph at No. 3 singles sealed the team win.

Mike Axford.
Michigan Tech will return home for two matches next weekend with Tiffin and Ashland coming to Houghton Friday (Oct. 2) and Saturday (Oct. 3), respectively.
