The No. 23 women's tennis team suffered its second loss of its last three matches Sunday, falling to No. 33 Ohio State 5-2. Freshman Erin Vierra and sophomore Lindsey Hardenbergh posted a win at the No. 1 spot, but teams at the No. 2 and No. 3 spots lost their matches, and the Cavaliers dropped the doubles point.
The Buckeyes got off to a fast start in singles, winning the first set of all six matches. They quickly sealed the overall win after sweeping matches in straight sets at the No. 1, No. 5 and No. 6 spots. With the match already decided, sophomore Emily Fraser managed to pull off a comeback victory at the No. 2 spot, defeating junior Paloma Escobedo 4-6, 7-6, 10-7, and Vierra knocked off senior Christina Keesey 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 3. The Cavaliers will travel to Wisconsin this week to compete in the National Team Indoors. Their next match will be Feb. 24 against William & Mary at the Boars Head Sports Club.
