SEATTLE – (April 7) The Seattle University women’s tennis team dropped a tough Western Athletic Conference match 4-3 to Chicago State on Saturday afternoon at the Amy Yee Tennis Center.

The Redhawks were looking to win their third straight match and second straight conference match, but Chicago State had other plans. The visiting team took all three doubles matches to earn the first point that would be crucial later on.

The Redhawks fought all the way back and won the first three singles matches to take a 3-1 lead. Michelle Lui won her match against Chicago State’s top opponent 6-1, 6-1, Kyra Jung won her match in the third flight 6-1, 6-2, and Hannah Gianan followed with a 7-5, 6-3 win at #2. With the score 3-1 in favor of SU, Chicago State went on to win the next three  matches to clinch their first conference win of the season.

“Tough match today,” head coach Adam Reeb said. “It was a huge battle. I’m proud of our team. We fought so hard and put ourselves in a place to get the win. We unfortunately just couldn’t get that last point. This conference is so deep and every match is so close. We’ll look to finish the weekend and regular season strong tomorrow against Grand Canyon. It’s senior day so we hope we can get a lot of support for these amazing young ladies.”

The match against GCU is set for 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Amy Yee Tennis Center.
