Shockers Stay Perfect in MVC Play, Sweep UNI

Box Score WATERLOO, Iowa – The No. 50 Wichita State women's tennis team remains perfect in Missouri Valley Conference play after sweeping Northern Iowa 7-0 Sunday at Byrnes Park. WSU has now won 84 consecutive MVC duals.

The Shockers (13-7, 5-0 MVC) quickly captured the doubles point, as Tanaporn Thongsing/Ting-Ya Hsu swept Eve Small/Savanna Hunt, 6-0, in the third flight. Gabriela Porubin/Fatima Bizhukova soon followed up in the top flight with a 6-1 win over Jieke Stroobant/Astrid Santos. Giulia Guidetti/Marta Bellucco led their second-flight match against Gisela Kemper/Sydney Wolfe by a score of 4-2, but went unfinished.

WSU swept singles play in short fashion, as five of the six matches never went to a third set. Bellucco struck first, topping Small 6-1, 6-1 in the fifth flight. Bellucco has now won six-straight matches. Bizhukova shortly followed up with a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Kemper, marking her ninth win in-a-row. In the sixth flight, Marija Mastilovic clinched the match by defeating Hunt 6-1, 6-0, also giving her four-straight wins. Thongsing beat Santos 6-3, 6-0 in the second flight, improving her team-best record to 24-9 overall. Hsu won 6-1, 6-2 over Wolfe in the fourth flight. Porubin closed out the scoring with a 3-6, 6-2, 10-6 win over Stroobant in the top flight, increasing her winning streak to six matches.
