Timberwolves drop 5-3 contest to No. 16 Hawaii
Pacific
The No. 18 Northwood University women's tennis team saw its
2008 season come to an end with a 5-3 loss to No. 16 Hawaii Pacific
in the Round of 16 of the Division II Women's Tennis
Tournament.
The Timberwolves' season comes to an end with an 18-4 record.
Hawaii Pacific stands at 22-7 heading into the Round of Eight.
Northwood took a 2-1 lead after doubles, thanks to winning at the
top-two positions. Hawaii Pacific earned the first win at singles
to even the score 2-2, but Northwood came right back when Darina
Berkova earned a 6-0, 6-1 win at the No. 1 position to give NU the
lead 3-2. That would be the Timberwolves final victory, however, as
Hawaii Pacific won at the bottom four singles positions to claim
the win.
