Ferris State Tennis Teams Sweep Walsh To Close Out Regional Road Trip To Ohio

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's and women's tennis teams closed out a regional road weekend in style on Saturday (Feb. 18) as the Bulldogs earned a sweep over Walsh University at the North Canton Racquet Club in men's and women's action.

The Bulldog men recorded a 6-1 victory in the contest with the women garnering a 5-1 decision over the Cavaliers.

With the wins, the men improved to 6-1 overall this year while the women now own a 6-2 overall mark to date this campaign.

Both Ferris State teams started strong in the late afternoon action as each won the doubles round for the initial point in the match. The men swept the three doubles flights with the women winning at both two and three doubles to grab the first point.

In singles play, Ferris State claimed the bottom five singles spots on the men's side, winning from the second thru the sixth flights, to seal the win. The stretch included a three-set win from Yannic Alexander Mader at three singles with the other four all finishing in straight sets.

For the Bulldog women, Ferris State took the top four singles flights, including three-set wins at both one and three singles, to come away with the win. Walsh scored its only win of the women's singles round at the fifth spot while the sixth flight was not played in the match.

The two matches marked the final competition in the month of February for the Bulldogs.

Ferris State will travel to Florida for its annual spring break trip to the Sunshine State. The Bulldogs are slated to play four matches the week of March 6 starting with a non-league tilt at the University of Tampa on Monday, March 6, for the women and against Merrimack the same day for the men.
