PEORIA, Ill – Despite a positive start by claiming the doubles point, Bradley Tennis fell by a score of 4-3 against MVC preseason favorite Illinois State Saturday afternoon at The Clubs at River City.
The Braves got off to a hot start, claiming the doubles point with wins at No. 1 by Victoria Sánchez-Bronzetti/Sandra Maletin and the clinching point with a win at No. 3 by Bozana Lojpur/Nikki Perlwitz.
The win at No. 1 was significant, as the Illinois State tandem of Tara Damnjanovic/Tijana Zlatanovic is the only duo to win Missouri Valley Conference Doubles Team of the Week on more than one occasion this season.
