“I thought we had a slow start in singles earlier today,” said third-year coach Miha Lisac. “We have to continue to be consistent in both our singles and doubles approach, and that is what we are going to focus on going into tomorrow’s match.”
In the morning session, West Virginia battled against Cornell. Sophomore Habiba Shaker tallied the Mountaineers’ only victory of the day in singles play. Shaker cruised past Cornell’s Alexandra D’Ascenzo in straight sets, only giving up three games in the second set, to win by a score of 6-0, 6-3.
In doubles action, West Virginia claimed two out of three matches against host Akron.
