Missouri Defeats Women’s Tennis, 6-1

Stephani continues strong play with a singles win for the Bulldogs

The Drake University women's tennis team suffered a 6-1 loss to visiting Missouri Sunday morning at the Roger Knapp Tennis Center. The loss gives the Bulldogs a split of their weekend homestand as the team opened the weekend with a win over Creighton Saturday.
 
Missouri (15-9) cruised in the win, jumping out to a 6-0 lead before the Bulldogs' Ines Stephani won her match at No. 4 singles, 6-2, 4-6, 1-0 to earn a point for the Bulldogs (6-5).
 
Drake dropped the doubles point and was then defeated in straight sets in three-straight singles matches to give Missouri the team win.
 
The Bulldogs travel to Milwaukee next weekend to face Marquette March 27.
