WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Indiana women's tennis team pulled out a tight 4-3 victory on the road against Purdue on Saturday.
The Hoosiers (11-8, 2-3 Big Ten) took control of the match early in doubles as they won at No. 2 by a score of 6-2 and won at No. 1 6-4 to earn the doubles point and take a 1-0 lead in the match.
Purdue (5-11, 0-5 Big Ten) won the first two singles matches to get back in it and take a 2-1 lead.
The Hoosiers responded as Caitlin Bernard and Natalie Whalen each won singles matches to put the Hoosiers up 3-2.
The Boilermakers evened the score 3-3 with a three-set win on court five and the match came down the No. 1 singles and Madison Appel for the Hoosiers.
