DES MOINES, Iowa - Sophomores Mariel Ante (Riverside, Calif.) and Jordan Eggleston (LaQuinta, Calif.) each registered singles titles to lead the Bulldogs on the final day of the Drake Fall Invitational on Sunday (Sept. 15) at the Roger Knapp Tennis Center.

In the finale of the 'B' singles flight, Ante bested Ana Gasparovic of Iowa State, 6-2, 7-5, to earn her second championship of the tournament.

A 6-3, 6-3 decision past Marissa Bach from Northern Colorado gave the title in the 'C' bracket to Eggleston.
