Upland, Ind. - Traveling to Upland for their first MCC matchup of the season, the Forester women's tennis team suffered an 8-1 loss to the Trojans of Taylor University.
After sweeping HU in doubles action, the Trojans continued to roll snagging five of the six wins in singles play to cruise to the conference victory. Alek Spasic was the lone Forester who brought home a win, defeating Kelsey Meyer in straight sets (6-1, 6-2) at the No. 2 spot.
"The scores don't represent just how close most of the matches were," said Coach Ferguson. "The girls played well against a better team and came away with a lot of positives. I was especially happy with the way our doubles teams are adapting to a new, more aggressive style of play."
