MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The Davis & Elkins College Women's Tennis team fell to Walsh University 7-2 Friday afternoon in Great Midwest Athletic Conference action at the Ridgeview Racquet Club.
 
The Senators picked up a pair of tiebreaker victories in their first match in over three weeks.

Simon would also hold the other tiebreaker victory on the afternoon, needing all three sets to defeat Maria Kacalova at No. 2 doubles. Simon won set one 6-4 but fell 6-3 in set two. In the third-set tiebreaker, Simon pulled out another 6-4 victory to earn the point.
 
Ester Bolmenas would also need a third-set tiebreaker to decide her singles match at the No. 4 position. Bolmenas started off with a 6-3 victory but fell 6-2 in set two before losing 6-1 in the deciding set.
