EVANSTON, Ill. – The Indiana women's tennis team played their second straight Big Ten match against a top-six nationally ranked team, but came up short with a 6-1 score on Saturday at the Combe Tennis Center in Evanston.
Northwestern got on the board first by winning matches at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles to earn the doubles point and take a 1-0 lead in the match.
In singles the Hoosiers (12-5, 0-2) got first set wins from Natalie Whalen at No. 2 singles and Caitlin Bernard at No. 3 singles. Madison Appel came close as she dropped her first set on a tiebreak at the No. 1 singles position. The Hoosiers top three singles positions faced off against the No. 50, No. 85 and No. 58 nationally ranked players.
Whalen captured a point for the Hoosiers with a 7-5, 6-3 win over No. 85 ranked Lee Or of Northwestern.
Bernard split her first two sets and did not get to play an entire third set as the match was already decided at that point. Bernard fell in a 10-point tiebreak to determine her match.
Up next the Hoosiers continue a three-match road stretch to open Big Ten play on March 23 at Michigan State. Indiana is next at home on March 25 against Minnesota.
