BOARDMAN, Ohio - Juliana Guevara was a two-time winner for Oakland, including a three-set win at No. 6 singles, as the Golden Grizzlies women's tennis team was unable to knock off defending Horizon League champions Youngstown State in a 5-2 setback Saturday afternoon at the Boardman Tennis Center.
"We started off strong with solid doubles play," Oakland head coach Heather Redshaw said. "We had tough and hard-fought singles matches, but we came up short in two three-set matches. But we will quickly rebound and get ready to battle hard against Cleveland State tomorrow."
Coming off their convincing 7-0 win against Green Bay, Oakland (2-12, 1-2 Horizon League) kept up their pace by winning the day's first point with two victories in doubles action. Tamara Blum and Elizabeth Guy mached up for a 6-4 victory at No. 2 doubles, while Guevara and partners teammate Karine Celis outlasted their Youngstown State foes at No. 3 doubles, 7-6.
In singles action, Guevara again aided in Oakland's scoring by notching a 6-3, 0-6, 6-3 victory at the No. 6 position. It was one of three three-set singles matches on the night.
While Youngstown State (9-8, 2-0 Horizon League) tallied straight-set wins at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5 singles, Oakland's Blum and Guy would not relent in their three-set matches. Blum bounced back from a tough 6-0 first-set deficit at No. 3 singles to take a 6-7 win in the second set and pushed Youngstown State's Annina Brendel to the end before falling, 6-0, 6-7, 7-5.
Guy's match at No. 4 singles also went to three sets, as the Oakland junior captured the first set before falling, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.
The Golden Grizzlies wrap up their two-match swing through Ohio Sunday with a 2 p.m. tilt against Cleveland State.
