DAYTON, Ohio - Juliana Guevara and Tamara Blum each won a doubles match and a singles match to lead the Oakland women's tennis team at the WSU Raider Shootout on Friday. OU won a total of five singles matches on the day.

"Overall everyone had some good matches today as it was a good start to the weekend," said head coach Heather Redshaw. "Our doubles play needs some work but everyone is playing with new partners this weekend so I am anticipating better results tomorrow. Elizabeth (Guy) had our best match of the day with a win over a solid player from Youngstown State."

Blum and Cam Sabourin won their opening doubles match 8-4 but dropped their second match in a tight contest 8-7. Blum went on to split her two singles matches winning the first 6-4, 2-6 and 6-4 then lost the second match 6-1 and 6-1. Guevara won her opening doubles match 8-5 but fell by the same score in her second match. In singles competition, she won with set scores of 3-6, 6-1 and 6-3 but later fell with scores of 6-4, 7-5 and 6-2.
