Women’s tennis can’t get past Nebraska
The Eagles’ women’s tennis team couldn’t win a match on Saturday, losing to Nebraska, 7-0, in Lincoln.
The only member of the EMU (3-4) squad to win a set was Marcela Rivero in her match against Janine Weinreich.
“Nebraska (9-0) is a great team,” EMU coach Ryan Ray said in a release. “We needed a better performance to play with them today, and we just didn’t get it. Hopefully we are healthier next week and can get in a solid week of practice before going to California.”
The team will head to California the first week of March to take on San Diego State, Long Beach State and Loyola Marymount.
