| Box Score 3 | Box Score 4 SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Roosevelt tennis suffered a pair of tight losses Friday and Saturday in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action on Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

The Lakers began their trip in Houghton against Michigan Tech and battled the Huskies evenly in both men's and women's action. The women lost 4-3 due to injuries forcing Roosevelt to default the No. 6 singles position. The men also dropped a 4-3 decision after another injury forced a retirement at No. 6 singles.

Roosevelt's women dropped the doubles point to Michigan Tech, but the top of the Lakers' singles lineup quickly pulled the Lakers back into the match. Teodora Petrica claimed a 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 1 singles then Sophie Christie followed up with a 6-2, 7-5 win at No. 3 singles. Varvara Ogorodnikova provided Roosevelt with its final point of the match by gutting out a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles.

It was a different story for the men, who claimed the doubles point courtesy of wins at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. Victor Dorojan doubled the lead with a 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 1 singles and Juan Pablo Espinosa took care of business 6-2, 6-3 at No. 3 singles. However, that was not enough for the Lakers to pull out their first conference win of the season.

Saturday's adventure at Lake Superior State was rougher with both the men and women dropping 6-1 scores to the Lakers. Malena Moya captured Roosevelt's only points on the women's side with a 7-6, 6-4 win at No. 5 singles. Meanwhile, Enzo Soares fought for a 6-3, 4-6, 10-7 win at No. 6 singles for the men's team.

UP NEXT: Roosevelt returns home for the first time in nearly a month Friday when it hosts Purdue Northwest in GLIAC action at XS Tennis.
