The Eastern Michigan University women’s tennis program started its season off on the right foot with a doubles win over a Harvard team that was ranked 40 nationally.
At the 18th annual William and Mary Invitational, the Eagles top doubles team of Miriam Westerink, junior from Rheden, the Netherlands, and Nino Mebuke, freshman from Tbilisi, Ga., upset the Harvard team that was ranked number one at the invitational.
Coach Ryan Ray, in his fourth year with the program, said he was happy with the result of his team’s first action this season.
“Having only two practices before going put us at a disadvantage to many schools that started in August with classes and practice,” said Ray.
