Houghton, Mich. - The Lewis University women's tennis team opened the 2010 Spring campaign in fine fashion, as the Flyers, behind two wins from sophomore Katie Hargrove (O'Fallon, Ill./O'Fallon), claimed the 6-3 non-conference victory over Lake Superior State on Saturday (Feb. 13) afternoon.

The Flyers were able to claim two victories at No. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles because Lake Superior State traveled only five players.

"We started off a little nervous, but we recovered nicely," Lewis head women's tennis coach Brett Bridel said. "We did a lot of good things today and I hope we can keep building on this."

With the victory, Lewis improves to 2-0 overall, while Lake Superior State falls to 6-10 on the campaign.

Hargrove paired up with Clare Kessler (Onalaska, Wis./Aquinas) at No. 2 doubles for the 8-6 win over Katie Watchorn and Anais Molina-Rodriguez. The O'Fallon, Ill., native would later claim a 6-3, 6-3 win over Carolyn Pumford at No. 3 singles.

Lewis freshman Jana Schulz (Recklinghausen, Germany/Theodor-Heuss Gymnasium) was victorious at No. 1 singles with a 6-0, 6-3 triumph over Adrienne DiVito, while sophomore Bayley Brown claimed the 6-1, 6-0 win over Molina-Rodriguez at No. 2 singles.

Lewis returns to action on Sunday (Feb. 14) afternoon, as the Flyers square off with Michigan Tech. First serve is set for 1 PM.

A Catholic university sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, Lewis offers nearly 80 undergraduate majors and programs of study, accelerated degree completion options for working adults, various aviation programs and 22 graduate programs in nine fields. The 9th largest private, not-for-profit university in Illinois is being honored for the sixth consecutive year by The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report.
