Women's tennis runs OAC regular season win streak to 25 matches with 7-2 victory at Baldwin Wallace
By Tim Glon
The Ohio Northern women's tennis team ran its Ohio Athletic Conference regular season winning streak to 25 matches and moved closer to its third consecutive OAC Regular Season title with a 7-2 victory at Baldwin Wallace on Saturday.
The Polar Bears improve to 21-4 overall and are 7-0 in OAC action, while the Yellow Jackets fall to 8-9, 4-2.
ONU would clinch at least a share of their third consecutive OAC crown and the No. 1 seed in the 2013 OAC Tournament with a victory in either of its two final matches, either at Capital on Tuesday or at home with Muskingum on Saturday, April 27.
Northern has already clinched a home match in the OAC Tournament quarterfinals on Wednesday, May 1 at 3:30 pm.
The Polar Bears are the only remaining undefeated team in OAC play, as Baldwin Wallace and Otterbein each entered Saturday's play with 4-1 league marks.
Sophomore Brittany Miller and freshman Meghan Letizia led ONU with victories at Nos. 3 and 4 singles, respectively, and wins at Nos. 3 and 2 doubles, respectively.
Miller won 6-1, 6-0 at No. 3 singles and combined with freshman Taryn Stromback to win 8-0 at No. 3 doubles.
Letizia won 6-2, 6-0 at No. 4 singles and joined junior Carly Olmstead to win 8-4 at No. 2 doubles.
Freshman Christina Corbean rallied to win 4-6, 6-4, 10-7 at No. 2 singles, Stromback won 6-3, 6-1 at No. 5 singles and Olmstead won 6-0, 6-2 at No. 6 singles.
Northern has won or shared the OAC Regular Season title six times in the previous 10 seasons since the league began awarding a regular season trophy in 2003.
