23rd-ranked Rock netters knock off Bloomsburg, 6-2

Sunday's win was the fifth in sixth dual matches for the Green and White

Janelle Krantz
WEXFORD, Pa. – The 23rd-ranked Slippery Rock University women's tennis team chalked up its fifth win of the 2010-11 season Sunday afternoon when it subdued previously-unbeaten in-state rival Bloomsburg University (3-1) by a 6-2 count at the Oxford Athletic Club.

The Rock (5-1) swept all three doubles matches, but not before the tandem of sophomore Elisabeth Yetiskul and freshman Samantha Bruggeman battled tooth-and-nail for a 9-8 (9-7) victory in the No. 3 match.

SRU's No. 1 duo of junior Sarah Lynch and sophomore Janelle Krantz (pictured) scored an 8-6 win, while the No. 2 doubles team of junior Dunja Drmac and freshman Lauren Coggins recorded an 8-4 victory.

Drmac (6-4, 6-1), Krantz (2-6, 6-4, 10-7) and Coggins (6-1, 6-3) followed up their doubles wins with victories in the No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 singles matches, respectively.

Lynch's No. 1 singles match was not completed due to time constraints. Lynch won the first set 7-6 (8-6) and was leading by a 3-1 score in the second set when time elapsed.

The Rock returns to action Friday, when it will host Malone College of Ohion in a 6:30 p.m. match at the Oxford Athletic Club.
