UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio – The Capital University women's tennis team took an 8-1 loss on Friday evening against John Carroll University. The Crusaders are now 1-3 overall on the season.
The match began outdoors at the Mayfield Racquet Club where John Carroll (2-0) took all three doubles flights to jump out to a 3-0 lead. The Crusaders biggest challenge came on court one out of the duo of
Kelli Wright-Lovell and newcomer Maria Sadek. Wright-Lovell and Sadek lost in the top-flight bout, 8-6, to Megan Reese and Skye Harwood. Courts two and three went to JCU by 8-2 counts.
The match needed to be moved indoors and so a break was taken to shift to the Paramount Tennis Club in Medina. Sadek, who had been on the team in 2017-18, took over the number one spot in the lineup and challenged Reese. She ultimately fell, 6-4, 6-1, in her 2021 debut.
Capital's lone point came on court two on the singles circuit when Kelly Wright-Lovell defeated Alyssa Krupp 7-6 (7-4), 6-4. This marks her third singles win of the season.
Amy Wright-Lovell lost a tight two-setter, 7-6, 6-4, on court five and
Karen Kanke took Emily Day to three sets but fell 4-6, 6-0, 6-0. John Carroll took the remaining two courts to lead to an 8-1 final.
Capital (1-3) has three matches left to play with its next taking place on Saturday, April 24 against Muskingum University in New Concord.
