Methodist Splits on First Day of Spring Break Trip

ORLANDO, Fla.  Methodist University women's tennis traveled down to the Sunshine State on Thursday to participate in Spring Break Tennis. The Monarchs played in two matches to begin their spring break trip; first losing 7–0 to Otterbein University before bouncing back to defeat Marywood University by the same score, 7–0, later in the day.

JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Otterbein def. Methodist 7–0; Methodist def. Marywood, 7–0
Records: Methodist 3-5; Otterbein 8-1; Marywood 3-7
Location: Fort Gatlin Tennis Center; Orlando, Florida

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
MATCH ONE (Otterbein)
  • The Cardinals claimed a 1–0 lead following doubles action, as they swept all three flights with identical scores of 6-1.
  • Otterbein also won all six single flights pretty easily, as Methodist was shutout in five of the total 12 sets that were played. Sophomore Caitlin Tihanovich (court 3; 6-4, 6-1) and senior Veva Willocks (court 5; 6-1, 6-1) were the only two Monarchs to win at least one game in each set.
MATCH TWO (Marywood)
  • Methodist fared much better against the Pacers and it started with the Monarchs winning the doubles point of the match. Two of the Methodist flights, No. 1 (Emma Hulicki/Tihanovich) & 3 (Willocks/Helen Boeshore), came out on top 6-1, while the remaining Monarch pair of Annabelle Subirats and Katie Sechrist won their respective match 6-2.
  • After facing each other in doubles, Hulicki squared off against Marywood's Gabriella Nowak in singles action as well, on court one with Hulicki winning 6-1, 6-2. In number two singles, Subirats had a similar result to Hulicki but with reverse set scores, as Subirats defeated Faith Kendricks of the Pacers 6-2, 6-1.
  • Tihanovich experienced some déjà vu in No. 3 singles. Earlier in the day, Tihanovich lost her singles flight 6-4, 6-1, but in her matchup against Marywood's Kylie Kilgore, she would win by the exact same score.
  • Victories by Sechrist (6-3, 6-4 vs. Alex Vitale), Willocks (6-2, 6-3 vs. Avianna Santarelli), and Boeshore (6-1, 6-3 vs. Abigail Mach) on courts 4, 5, & 6, respectively, completed the sweep for Methodist.
UP NEXT
Methodist has one more match at Spring Break Tennis on Friday, March 14, as the Monarchs go up against the Barons of Franciscan University. The match is set to begin at 7:30 AM.
