EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - SIUE women's tennis won five singles matches and toppled Northern Iowa 6-1 at the Edwardsville Y Meyer Center.

"It was good to bounce back with a win," said SIUE Head Coach Adam Albertsen. "Northern Iowa came out and competed well. I really like how we responded after a tough loss the night before."

After grabbing the doubles point early, the Cougars recorded four wins in straight sets.

SIUE freshman Stefaniya Anikina started the singles run with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over UNI's Kanyanut Sudsaard at No. 5 singles.

Senior Jordan Schifano followed with a 6-0, 7-5 triumph over Lorena Cardoso at No. 3 singles.
