The bottom of the Valparaiso University tennis lineup enjoyed victories as Elizabeth Sobieski (Muskego, Wis. / Muskego) and Lillian Kelly (Fullerton, Calif. / Fullerton Union) were both in the win column on Saturday afternoon, but visiting Belmont took the match 5-2 at The Courts of Northwest Indiana.  

How It Happened

• Kelly was the first singles player off the court, dispatching Belmont’s Aly Getty 6-4, 6-2 at No. 6.

• Belmont prevailed on the other four singles courts. The tightest of those came at No. 2, where Olivia Czerwonka (Kenosha, Wis. / Saint Joseph Catholic Academy) won the middle set in lopsided fashion 6-1 but dropped tight first and third sets, both by 6-4 scores.
• The Bruins won the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches to take the doubles point.
