OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha mounted a three-point comeback to win its first Summit League match of the season, 4-3, over Oral Roberts Friday afternoon at Miracle Hill Tennis Center.

The Mavericks improve to 4-14 overall and 1-1 in league standings, while the Golden Eagles are now 3-14 and 1-3 in league action.

Omaha clinched the doubles point with wins by Emily Behling and Ines Absisan at No. 3 (6-2) and Marie Kapelevich and Natalie Lorentz at No. 1 (7-6).

In singles action, Oral Roberts built at 3-1 lead after victories on courts one, five and six. Cue the comeback, as Lorentz gutted out a three-set win at No. 2 (4-6, 6-1, 6-4) and Kapelevich evened the score at three-all with a three-set win at No. 3 (1-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3). Both trailed in the first set and mounted two straight wins in the final two sets for a pair of Omaha points.

It all came down to Behilng at No. 4 and she was able to deliver. The junior clinched the match for Omaha with a 7-6 (6), 5-7, 7-5, three-set winner and sealed the 4-3 victory over Oral Roberts at No. 4 singles.

"What a thrilling win," said head coach Adam Summitt. "We have had some close matches all year and felt like we have been there, but today was different.  We played some great doubles across all three spots and that is good to see. I think the doubles point fueled us for singles and credit to ORU for really pushing us. After we were down 3-1, we just dug in and became tough in the last three singles matches. Huge props for Emily, because she played so well under pressure the entire match.  She fought back from a match point down at 4-5 in the third set to win the next three games and clinch it for us. We look to keep this rolling tomorrow."

The Mavericks aim to continue their momentum with a Summit League matchup against Western Illinois tomorrow at noon. Competition is set to take place at Miracle Hills Tennis Center.
