LOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2013 After a recent gauntlet of road matches, Bellarmine women’s tennis got back in the win column on Friday, defeating Marian University (Ind.) 6-1 at home in the Eddie Weber Tennis Complex.<\/p>\n

The Knights (7-13) have been battle tested as of late, facing off against power conference opponents Mississippi State, Indiana, Notre Dame and Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Back in a familiar setting, Bellarmine was firing on all cylinders. Starting in doubles, senior Vendula Krylova and sophomore Reese Parker<\/a> got the first win of the day in flight one, sweeping their opponents 6-0. If that wasn’t enough, juniors Marika Caruk<\/a> and Nikola Kollaritsch<\/a> repeated the feat in flight three, putting up another 6-0 victory to clinch the team point.<\/p>\n

Moving into singles, the Knights kept their momentum. All four doubles winners collected their second wins of the day to move the match to 5-0, securing the win. Junior Lillie Willis<\/a> notched her first win of the day on court six, defeating her opponent 6-0, 6-1 win for Bellarmine’s sixth point.<\/p>\n

Marian never gave up, battling for a 6-2, 6-4 win on court four, leading to the 6-1 final score.<\/p>\n

Up next, Bellarmine will hit the road again, traveling to Murfreesboro, TN to take on Middle Tennessee on February 28.<\/p>\n
