Yellow Jacket Tennis Stifled at Home by Transylvania

DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Defiance College women's tennis played Transylvania University in a home Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference clash on Saturday morning. The Jackets were unable to pull off the upset over the third place Pioneers and lost by a score of 8-1.

The match began with doubles play, as the Purple and Gold were unable to claim a victory in any of the three matches. The Jackets faired the same in singles action, as Transylvania dominated play. DC managed to grab a victory at the number four singles spot, as freshman Bethany Brown notched a win due to her opponent retiring midway through the first set.

Defiance is back in action on Wednesday, October 3, as the team travels to HCAC-rival Bluffton University. The first serve is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
