The Tiffin University Women's Tennis team started their season off strong with a 5-4 victory over the UNOH Racers on Saturday. The Dragons had a different look in their lineup as injuries have plagued the team.

The lone victory for the Dragons at doubles came at the new pairing of Brozovich/Avram as they took down Lacerda/Vispoel of UNOH in a tight tiebreaker. The Dragons were victorious 8-6 (9-8).

The other two doubles matches didn't go as well for TU as the usual dominant pair of Nelhage/Kaye lost 5-8 to Lopez/Marques of UNOH while the new pairing of Musina/Sim lost 2-8 to Scheider/Reshetnikova of UNOH.

The Dragons were able to make up ground as they entered singles play trailing the Racers 1-2.

A quick scare at 1st singles as Nelhage took a set to shake the summertime rust off as she took down Lopez 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. 2nd singles also went TU's way as Musina continued her dominant performance from last season with a stellar 6-0, 7-6 victory over Scheider of UNOH. TU's new 3rd singles player Emily Sim took down Marques of UNOH 6-1, 6-2. TU's final singles victory came as Aimee Kaye won at 5th singles 6-4, 6-1.

TU faltered at 4th and 6th singles as Avram dropped her match to Reshetnikova 2-6, 4-6 while Alaniz dropped her match at 6th singles 1-6, 6-7 to Vispoel of UNOH.
