LINCOLN, Neb. – Omaha Women's Tennis (3-5) leaves Nebraska's capital after it picked up a 5-2 victory on Sunday over Saint Louis (1-5) after it fell 1-6 to Nebraska (8-1) on Saturday evening with both matches taking place at Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center.
"The team responded vs Saint Louis, and we played great doubles to start the day," head coach Adam Summitt said. "We had some competing matches and were glad to see them win. Katelynn Kock had a great weekend coming behind from a set down in two matches. Summer Shannon stepped up and clinched a win today."
Omaha took the doubles point on Sunday afternoon over Saint Louis. Junior Zoe Adkins and senior Paula Arcarons had a big 6-1 victory as partners.
Freshmen Kock and Nina Wiese also had a dominant 6-1 performance as a doubles pair in Nebraska's capital on Sunday.
In singles, four Mavericks won four of the six matches that took place at Sid and Hazel Dillon Tennis Center.
Kock also had a resilient singles match against Saint Louis's Lizzie Barlow, ultimately winning 1-6, 6-4, 6-0.
Arcarons, Wiese and Shannon rounded out the other Maverick wins in singles on Sunday afternoon.
On Saturday, Kock delivered Omaha's only victory when she beat Nebraska's Yuzu Miyoshi 5-7, 6-4, 1-0 [10-7].
"A decent weekend overall for us," Summitt said. We completed well, at times, against Nebraska. We gave the Cornhuskers too many points, though. We truly beat ourselves."
The Mavericks are back on the court on Friday, Feb. 21, at 5 p.m. CT when they host DePaul and then on Sunday, Feb. 23, against Creighton at 4 p.m. CT. Both matches will take place at Miracle Hills Tennis Center in Omaha, Neb.
