CHICAGO – Roosevelt took down a former conference rival in a pair of duals Wednesday, defeating Olivet Nazarene 7-0 on the women's side and 4-3 in the men's match.
The Lakers were in complete control of the women's dual with a pair of convincing 6-0 wins at Nos. 1 and 3 doubles. A 6-3 win at the second doubles position completed the sweep before Roosevelt took all 12 sets on singles action. Ekin Barut dropped just one game at the top singles spot with a 6-0, 6-1 win and Camila Valencia won 6-1, 6-3 at the No. 2 singles position. Sophie Christie needed a tiebreak in the first set, but easily took the second 6-3 at the third position and Nathalie Ramazzini scored a 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 4. Luciana Trigosso was perfect with a 6-0, 6-0 win then Malena Moya won 6-1, 6-4 to finish off the dominant win.
The men also captured the doubles point by winning all three doubles matches against the Tigers, but were not as dominant in singles. Lluc Mascaro Sierra retired while winning in his match at No. 6 singles to tie the score at 1, but Santiago Albarran gave the Lakers the lead with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4 singles. Marcos Valent won 6-3, 6-2 at No. 3 singles and Jules Rumeau won at the fifth singles position 6-0 6-4 to clinch the win.
