YSU advances to Horizon League finals

ANN ARBOR, MICH.

The Youngstown State women’s tennis team will play in the Horizon League Championship match for the fourth straight year following a 4-1 win over UIC on Saturday at the Varsity Tennis Center at the University of Michigan.

The Penguins (11-12) have won the past two championships and will face fifth-seed Wright State who knocked off top-seed Cleveland State on Saturday. The title match on Sunday will begin at 11 a.m.

After the teams split matches at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, the Penguins clinched the point with a hard-fought 7-5 win at No. 3 behind Ana Stroe and Julianna Heino. The duo of Dominika Lackova and Sofia Macias won 6-3 at No. 2.

The first singles victory for YSU came at No. 4 as Macias won in straight sets beating Melika LeBlanc 6-3, 6-1. The Flames (13-8) cut the deficit to 2-1 as Jackie Altansarnai beat Lackova 6-1, 6-3.

The next YSU victory came at No. 3 as Noelly Longi Nsimba overcame a 6-2 first set loss to win the next two by scores of 6-1, 6-2 against Oana Manole.

In 2014, YSU defeated Cleveland State and last year it knocked off Detroit. YSU defeated Wright State 6-1 on March 26 at the YSU Tennis Courts.

This is at Ann Arbor because there are no indoor facilities in all of the HL?  How does Green Bay practice?  It's a shame to have funds escape the HL, but I understand adequate facilities are essential. Can't the WATTS be converted to a tennis facility?  Just curious.

Go Penguins!

It's the closest neutral site for all of the schools, and no the WATTS cannot be converted. Can't just magically put down a tennis court lol. Congrats ladies!
