EVANSTON, Illinois — The University of Iowa women’s tennis team completed day two of action at the Wildcat Winter Duals held on the Campus of Northwestern University on Saturday.
After falling to Northwestern’s Veronica Corning on Friday, senior Ruth Seaborne bounced back on Saturday by knocking off Ana Vladutu of DePaul, the No. 52-ranked singles player in the country, in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. Junior Ellen Silver also notched a win in her singles matchup by defeating DePaul’s Carolin Neumann, 6-0, 6-1.
In doubles play, the Hawkeye duo of Ellen Silver and Aimee Tarun defeated DePaul’s Carolin Neumann and Zaina Sufi, 6-2.
