PROVIDENCE, R.I. --- The UAB women's tennis was defeated, 7-0, by Brown University here on Sunday afternoon. The Blazers failed to tally a win in doubles or singles action.
"I'm disappointed with today's match," said UAB head coach Mert Ertunga. "Brown is a good team, but I felt like we could have played better. I thought we underachieved today, especially in singles."
The Blazers (4-9, 1-2) lost the doubles point after the Bears won at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions. UAB's Femke de Boer and Marrit Jansma fell to Brown's Kerry Meath and Victoria Beck, 9-8 (7-3), in the No. 1 spot. In the No. 2 tilt, the Bears' Alex Arlak and Michelle Paulter were 8-4 winners over UAB's Annemieke Elsholz and Julia von Samson.
UAB did tally a doubles win, as Nadia Dellarciprete and Samrin Tanzeem defeated Brown's Daisy Ames and Amanda Saiontz in the No. 3 match.
Brown continued to dominate, as the Bears won all six singles matches. In the No. 1 spot, the Blazers' de Boer fell to Brown's Arlak, 6-2, 6-1. At the No. 2 position, the Bears' Meath defeated UAB's Elsholz, 6-3, 6-0. The Blazers' Jansma lost to Brown's Singer, 6-0, 6-1, in the No. 3 match. In the No. 4 tilt, the Bears' Saiontz was a 6-3, 7-6(5), winner over UAB's von Samson. Brown's Ames beat the Blazers' Dellarciprete, 6-4, 5-7 (10-3), in the No. 5 position. In the No. 6 spot, the Bears' Paulter defeated UAB's Tanzeem, 7-5, 6-1.
UAB will be back in action on Monday, March 15, when they travel to Boston for a 3:00 p.m. match.
