By Bud Denega
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Ohio Northern women's tennis team split a pair of matches Sunday at the USTA National Campus. The Polar Bears downed Muskingum 9-0 and fell to Division II Seton Hill (Pa.) 4-3. The results move Northern to 6-3 on the season.
In the match against Muskingum, the Polar Bears only dropped two games total. Senior Kaleigh Cummins (Springfield/Northeastern), sophomore Olivia Schrager (Dayton/Miami Valley), senior Mackenzie Wills (Ada), freshman Regan Landis (Elkhart, Ind./Concord), senior Katie Curry (Oxford/Talawanda) and senior Jordan Dodson (Worthington) all won in convincing fashion.
It was much of the same story in doubles. Freshman Florine Sanchez (West Chester/Lakota West) and Cummins won 8-2. Wills and freshman Jeorgia Templin (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) claimed an 8-0 decision, and Landis and Curry also won 8-0.
Wills (Ada), Curry (Oxford/Talawanda) and Temple (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) all logged singles victories for Northern against Seton Hill. Wills and Curry made quick work of Kaitlyn Walch and Abby Herman, winning 6-1, 6-2, and 6-2, 6-3, respectively. Temple took care of Marlayna Verenna 7-6 (3), 6-1.
The Polar Bears will return to action on Tuesday when they face Midway (Ky.) and Concordia (Minn.).
