MSU Tennis Opens With Win Over Gusties

ST. PETER, Minn. - Minnesota State tennis opened the spring season with a 6-3 victory over Gustavus Adolphus Saturday at Swanson Tennis Center, giving head coach Tristen Bryant-Otake her first collegiate duel win at the helm. The Mavericks took one of three doubles matches after a pair of tiebreakers, then closed with five singles wins.

"Our team showed up big time today," Bryant-Otake said. "Gustavus is a great opponent. Even after dropping two doubles matches, I was proud of our effort and fight in singles. It was super exciting to get our first dual match win under our belt and a great match to prepare us for conference play next weekend. There was lots to be happy about and lots more work to put in but I believe we are on the right track."

All three doubles matches were close but Elizabeth Felderman and McKenna DeMarce prevailed at No. 3 over Pavla Yakimova and Brooke Haddorff 8-7 (2). Trailing 2-1 heading into singles, DeMarce was the first to finish in singles with a 6-1, 7-5 straight set win over Yakimova. Felderman followed at No. 5 6-3, 6-4 over Ella De Young and Chiara Carnelutti prevailed at No. 1 7-5, 6-2 over Allison Szalay.

Freia Lawrence won a super-tiebreaker for the third set at No. 2 over Molly Austin 7-5, 4-6, 10-3 and Daria Podmogilnaia closed out Kaya De Bruijn in a second set tiebreak at No. 4 6-3, 7-6(3). 

Minnesota State (1-0, 0-0 NSIC) opens conference play February 17 against Minnesota State University Moorhead at Owatonna Indoor Tennis Center.
