COLUMBUS, OHIO – The University of Iowa women’s tennis team fell to the No. 3 ranked team in the country, the Ohio State University Friday night in Columbus, Ohio at the Varsity Tennis Center.
Sophomores Zoe Douglas and Anastasia Reimchen knocked off the No. 3 ranked doubles team in the land, Miho Kowase and Anna Sanford of Ohio State, 6-2, in the No. 1 doubles spot.
Adorabol Huckleby and Aimee Tarun fell to Gabriella De Santis and Sandy Niehaus, 6-0. Montana Crawford and Annette Dohanics dropped their doubles match, 6-1, on court No. 3 to Anna Sanford and Francesca Di Lorenzo, clinching the doubles point for the Buckeyes.
“We battled well tonight and Ohio State is a very good team,” said UI head coach Katie Dougherty. “Picking up the win at No. 1 doubles was huge for us. Stash and Zoe have been getting better every day and I’m happy for them to have that feeling of beating a top five team.”
