Women’s Tennis defeats Northern Iowa

OMAHA, Neb. - Omaha Women's Tennis defeated Northern Iowa, 6-1, at home on Saturday night.  

The Mavericks (5-5) opened the match strong by winning the doubles point over Northern Iowa (1-6). Senior Jacqueline Pearsall (Centennial, Colo.) and freshman Shelby Smith (Leawood, Kan.) opened the night with a 6-1 win over UNI's Yangjiaxin Li and Abbie Peterson in the No. 2 doubles match. Sophomores Nina Wiese (Flushing, N.Y.) and Katelynn Kock (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) closed it out with a 6-2 win over UNI's Andjela Raznatovic and Lucia Schuknecht.  

Kock recorded a dominant win in the No. 3 singles match over Li. The sophomore won the first set 6-0 and only dropped one game in the second set to win 6-1. 

Smith lost the next fewest number of games with only two going to her opponent, Kayla Ruth Santosa. The freshman moves to 5-4 in dual matches this spring after winning 6-2, 6-0.  

"Great match from start to finish today," head coach Adam Summitt said. "We started off a bit rough on a few courts in doubles but finished strong. In singles, we kept our foot on the gas pedal and never let up. A lot to build on from the weekend. There are a lot of areas we need to be better at to continue our improvement." 

The Mavericks will close out their homestand at 7 p.m. CT on Friday, Feb. 20 when they welcome Western Illinois to Miracle Hill Tennis Center.
