UNIVERSITY PARK, Penn.— University of Iowa women’s tennis team was downed by No. 30 Penn State, 6-1, today at the Sarni Indoor Tennis Center.

“Penn State played well tonight,” said head coach Katie Dougherty. “They compete very well and brought a lot of fire. Hopefully we learned a lot tonight and need to apply that on Sunday. I’m confident we’ll bounce back.”

The Nittany Lions captured the doubles point with victories at the No. 1 and No. 3 positions.

Freshman Caitlin Hindmarsh picked up a lone singles win at the No. 6 position over Marie Bedard, 3-6, 7-6, 1-0. Hindmarsh’s victory improves her record to 10-2.
