In singles action, Bethel’s Carrie Edison (1 singles), Sarah Cressman (4 singles), Kristine Hosinski (5 singles), and Jill Focht (number 6 singles) all became double winners for the day as they registered singles victories to go along with their wins in doubles.
“This win was a good way to open conference play for our ladies,” stated Bethel coach, John Natali. “Just like Wednesday’s match with Indiana Tech, St. Francis showed that they were an improved team this season. So this was a very good win for our team as all of our top six players won in either singles or doubles. And Carrie, Sarah, Kristine, and Jill all put together fine efforts to win in both singles and doubles today. ”
The Bethel women will be back in action on Tuesday, September 8th when they will host Huntington University at 1:00pm on the courts at Baker Park in Mishawaka.
