Box Score The Chicago State women's tennis team lost to Omaha 4-3 Friday afternoon at the Miracle Hill Tennis Center in Omaha. The Mavericks captured the doubles point winning each match 6-2 while the Cougars rebounded in singles with three victories, including a three-set win for
Katarina Dukic at No. 5 with each of the three sets going to a tiebreaker. Complete results listed below.
"In doubles, I felt we lacked intensity and made too many unforced errors," associate head coach
Adesuwa Osabuohien said. "We rebounded in singles and we had better focus. We had a lot of close matches and every game was earned, not given. I'm proud of the effort today. We'll keep moving forward and focus on needed adjustments."
Chicago State will be back in action Saturday, Feb. 19 to take on the Creighton Bluejays at the Hanscom Tennis Courts in Omaha.
