Lakers Slip In Two GLIAC Home Matches

CHICAGO – Roosevelt's tennis teams dropped both of their matches this weekend against Wayne State and Ferris State at XS Tennis. 

The Lakers hosted the Warriors on Friday in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match, and both the men and women lost 7-0. Saturday's match against Ferris State brought more success for the Lakers, although Roosevelt's ladies fell 6-1 and the men lost 5-2. 

On Friday, almost every Lakers player lost in straight sets except for Juan Pablo Espinosa at No. 5 singles and Lakshay Vivek at No. 2 singles, who both forced their matches into third sets. Roosevelt didn't win the doubles point in either gender on Saturday, but the Lakers did win a doubles match in both contests. 

Fabiola Rivas and Ximena Mercado teamed up to win 6-3 at No. 3 doubles on the women's sides. Justus Peters and Enzo Soares handily won at No. 2 doubles for the men with a 6-2 victory. Teodora Petrica persevered for a three-set win at No. 1 singles for the women, securing the only point of the day for the Lakers. Peters and Espinosa both won their singles matches for the men for Roosevelt's two points in that match. 

UP NEXT: The Roosevelt women will host Saginaw Valley State next Friday in the GLIAC finale while the men await their seeding for the conference tournament because the Cardinals do not field a men's team.
