OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton women's tennis team registered 13 victories on day two of the Bluejays co-hosted Jays/Mavs Hidden Duals to capture a trio of dual victories at the Koch Family Tennis Center.
Creighton completed a 7-0 sweep of Omaha, while also earning a pair of 6-1 wins against Northern Iowa and Missouri State on Saturday.
The Bluejays opened play on Saturday by taking two out of the three double matches against Northern Iowa. Malvika Shukla and Leanne Kendall once again teamed up for a 6-3 triumph over the Panthers Darta Dalecka and Lorena Cardoso at the No. 1 slot. Valerie Negin and Ana Paula Martinez secured the win for the Bluejays with a 7-6 (8-6) tiebreaker win over Andrijana Brkic and Issa Sullivan at the No. 2 spot. Thaissa Moreira and Laysa Mylavarapu did pick up a 6-3 win on the No. 3 doubles court for UNI.
Creighton continued their hot start with five single victories to take home a 6-1 dual win over Missouri State. Negin battled to a 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 win over Diana Cabrera at the top singles position, while Martinez stormed past Juliette Robinson, 6-2, 6-1, on court No. 2. Kendall came away with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Alyson Piskulic on court No. 4 before freshman Annika Elvestrom overcame a one set deficit to capture a 4-6, 6-2, 10-7 victory at the No. 5 slot. Allison Wilcox wrapped up the victory for the Bluejays with a 6-4, 6-2 win at the No. 6 singles position.
The Bluejays wrapped up the weekend with six straight set victories over Omaha to complete a 7-0 sweep of the Mavericks. Martinez won 6-4, 6-1 at the No. 1 spot, while Negin picked up a 6-3, 6-3 win on court No. 2 and Shukla earned a 6-4, 6-2 win on court No. 3. Kendall battled to a 7-6 (9-7), 6-1 win on court No. 4 while Elvestrom secured a 6-2, 6-0 win on court No. 5. Wilcox finished out the afternoon for the Bluejays with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Lillian Tiemeyer at the No. 6 singles position.
"This tournament was a great chance to see our ladies in dual match situations," said head coach Tom Lilly. "I'm a lot more impressed with the team than I was following our first tournament. Too win the doubles point against three teams and also go 16-2 in singles against some good competition was impressive; especially considering that we could only use seven of our ten players this weekend."
Creighton will return to the courts on Oct. 13-16 when they travel to Stillwater, Okla. for the ITA Regional hosted by Oklahoma State.
