VALPARAISO, Ind. - Valparaiso took four singles matches Saturday and defeated SIUE women's tennis 4-3 at The Courts of NWI.

SIUE collected the doubles point early with wins from Margaux Guibal Britt and Amelia Gorman at No. 2 doubles as well as Caitlyn Sporing and Jaiden McKee at No. 3 doubles.

The Cougars, however, picked up singles wins from Gorman at No. 3 over Amanda Tabanera 6-3, 6-2 and No. 6 singles from Sporing over Elizabeth Sobieski 6-3, 1-6, 6-3.

"Give Valparaiso a ton of credit," said SIUE Head Coach Adam Albertsen. "They plated a really strong match and valued every point. We need to get back to practice and learn from this match before we play Western Illinois."

SIUE, 1-1, will face Western Illinois next Saturday at the Edwardsville Y Meyer Center.
