<\/p>\n KALAMAZOO, Mich. & VALPARAISO, Ind. \u2013 The Oakland women’s tennis team put up strong competition, but dropped both of its matches over the weekend, falling to Western Michigan and Valparaiso on the road.<\/p>\n AGAINST THE BRONCOS While Oakland dropped in the first two singles matches, freshman Oliwia Klimas<\/a> (6-4, 6-3) and sophomore Martyna Piechowicz<\/a> (6-2, 6-4) responded with straight-set victories to get the Golden Grizzlies on the board. With Western Michigan holding a 3-2 advantage, the match came down to the final two courts, with Oakland needing to win both to complete the comeback. Hammond and Jarvinen each battled into a deciding third set, but came up just short, giving Western Michigan a 5-2 win.<\/p>\n AGAINST VALPO Oakland shuffled its singles lineup, moving Piechowicz to the No. 1 court for the first time this season. The switch bumped sophomore Nisa Bulut<\/a> to the No. 2 position, aiming to spark more success from the former Horizon League Freshman of the Year.<\/p>\n Klimas (6-1, 6-1), extending her singles winning streak to six, put Oakland ahead 2-0 with another straight-sets victory. However, the Golden Grizzlies dropped the next three matches before Hammond picked up a 6-2, 6-4 win to level the score at 3-3. It all came down to the No. 2 court and Bulut for Oakland. After fighting for extra points to try and force a third set, Bulut eventually fell 3-6, 5-7, giving Valpo the final singles point and the match.<\/p>\n Three of Oakland’s five losses this season have been decided by one point, underscoring Oakland’s competitiveness against its opponents.<\/p>\n DOUBLES RESULTS
