DAYTON, Ohio - The University of Dayton women's tennis team capped off its regular season with a convincing 6-1 win over local rival Wright State on Thursday evening at Dayton Center Courts.
With the victory, Dayton shook off two consecutive losses to end the dual match season with an 8-9 record. The eight wins are the most in a season since the 2005 squad posted a 12-6 record.
The Flyers won four singles matches, all in straight sets. Freshman Sara Smith saw her first action this spring, but played like a veteran en route to an easy 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 6.
Other singles winners for UD were freshman Loni Dickerhoof at No. 1, sophomore Laina Grote at No. 2, and senior Nikki Dzubay at No. 4.
