Sept. 15, 2013

GRANDVILLE, Mich. - The Grand Valley State women's tennis team continued its unconventional home-stand on Sunday (Sept. 15), comfortably taking down Hillsdale by a score of 8-1. The match was moved from the GVSU Tennis Courts to the Ramblewood Tennis & Health Club due to weather.

The victory moves GVSU to 5-1 both overall and in GLIAC play on the season. The home-stand will continue on Friday (Sept. 20) when the Lakers welcome rival Saginaw Valley State to the GVSU Tennis Courts for a 3 p.m. match.

In the #2 match, Leah Dancz and Kali Phillips teamed up for an 8-2 victory, while Niki Shipman and Morgan Patterson duplicated that score in their #3 doubles match. Those #2 and #3 doubles teams are both now 5-0 on the year.
