Ferris State Tennis sweeps Davenport in first conference action

The Ferris State University men's and women's tennis squads opened up Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play on Friday (March 22) with a road sweep over Davenport in league action.

The men's squad earned a 6-1 triumph over the Panthers while the Bulldog women came away with a 4-3 victory in the first conference match of the year.

The two contests were played at the Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness Club.

In the women's contest, Ferris State faced a Davenport team that entered the tilt with 11 wins already this season. DU scored the initial point of the match by taking the second and third doubles spots in the lineup, although the FSU combination of Morgan Waller and Ana Hernandez Ferrer were victorious by a 6-4 score at the top position.

FSU came back strong in the singles round, winning at four of the six flights. Waller was a straight-set winner at one singles while Sophie Daavittila came away with a win at two singles and Maria Hernandez Ferrer posted a 6-3, 6-4 victory at the fourth spot. Finally, FSU's Kennedy Dumas clinched the match for the third time this year, coming away with a big win to secure the victory in the last match on the court.

In the men's encounter, Ferris State captured the opening point with wins at two and three doubles. The Bulldogs then dominated the singles round, winning in straight-sets at one, three, fourt and five singles along with a three-set triumph at six singles. DU's only point came via a three-set victory at two singles.

The Bulldogs will continue league road action on Saturday (March 23), visiting Purdue Northwest for a league twin bill starting at 2 p.m. (ET). The match will be contested at the Match Point Tennis and Fitness Center in Griffith, Ind.
