FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The IPFW women's tennis team swept through the first day of the pre-championships weekend, taking a 7-0 win over Western Illinois in the morning followed by a 5-2 win over South Dakota State in the nightcap.
The opening match saw IPFW jump ahead quickly with a forfeit victory at No. 3 pairs, before the No. 1 doubles team of Mayu Sato and Ella Norgren picked up an 8-1 win, securing the doubles point. To top it off, the Mastodons got an 8-1 win at No. 2 doubles from the team of Carlota Trevino and Sara Sherif.
The margin reached 2-0 before a tennis ball was hit again with the Leathernecks having to forfeit at No. 6 singles. Sherif added a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4 singles to put IPFW ahead 3-0, before Emily Richardson won 6-4, 6-1 at No. 5 singles to give the Mastodons the match victory.
Sato continued her undefeated Summit League streak with a 6-1, 6-3 win at No. 1 singles, while Alina Schibol won 6-1, 6-3 at No. 2 and Sofia Sorokina a 6-3, 6-2 winner at No. 3.
In the nightcap later that afternoon, the Mastodons took the doubles point with a pair of wins at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles. The No. 2 pair of Kristine Lindal and Trevino won 8-2, before the No. 3 team of Schibol and Sherif won 8-3.
With the doubles point in their back pocket, the singles competition opened with a Sherif 6-2, 6-0 victory, putting the hosts ahead 2-0. Sorokina won 6-2, 6-0 at No. 4 to close to within a point of the match win.
The visitors answered with wins at No. 3 and No. 6 singles; however, a Trevino win at No. 2 by a 6-1, 6-3 score gave the team the win. In her pursuit of a second straight Summit League Player of the Year honor, Sato kept her undefeated conference record intact with a 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 1 singles.
The Mastodons return to action for a second day of a doubleheader, facing off at 2 p.m. against the IUPUI Jaguars, and following that a match against in-town foe Indiana Tech.
