MATCH RESULTS

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- The women's tennis team was in action earlier Friday evening as they hosted the Eastern Michigan Eagles at the Franklin Athletic Club in Southfield. The Eagles (3-2) escaped with a 7-0 victory in the second straight home match for Detroit (0-2).
 
Senior Amanda Cornwell and sophomore Julia Fernandes had a difficult task going up against the No. 57 ranked doubles pair in the country in Nino Mebuke and Miriam Westerink. The Eagles duo would win by an 8-2 score to take the doubles point.
 
In singles, Cornwell forced a third set after a convincing 6-1 second set win playing in the No. 4 position. A 6-4 defeat in the final frame would narrowly keep the Titans out of the win column.
 
A second singles match needed more than two sets as sophomore Raina Halabi forced a third set tiebreaker playing at No. 3 singles but was on the wrong end of a 10-4 decision.
 
The women will look ahead to their third straight match Saturday evening as they will host Xavier at 8:00 p.m. The match is part of a double header with the men's team against Xavier slated for 7:00 p.m.
