Box Score The Omaha women's tennis team fell to cross-town rival Creighton Friday night 5-2.
Zoe Adkins and
Khayli Buckels picked up the two singles points for Omaha.
"Frustrating day for us," said head coach
Adam Summitt. "Creighton played well and really was a tough matchup. We dug ourselves in some major holes in doubles and couldn't get back. That was a momentum shift and we lost some quick first sets in singles. I thought we had some bright spots today. Just need to keep being better and learning from it."
The 6-8 Mavericks are set to play their first conference dual on March 1 when they travel to South Dakota."
