Box Score Minnesota Duluth 4 - Upper Iowa 3. The Peacock women's tennis team comes home from Winona, Minn. with a split for the weekend after a tight 4-3 loss to the University of Minnesota Duluth. UMD got the doubles point and the teams split the singles matches 3-3.
 
RECAP... UMD won the doubles point by sweeping the three matches. Shakhnaza Zhanatova and Deimante Krivickaite lost a close 6-4 battle at No. 1, while Carolina Abella and Alejandra Abella lost 6-0 at No. 2 and Varvara Ogorodnikova and Mya Herrmann lost 6-2 at No. 3.

The Peacocks won three of the six singles matches, but couldn't find the dual winning victory need to overcome the doubles point.

QUOTABLE... "We had another really close match again today coming down to just one decision separating the two teams. We need to do a better job in doubles and better capitalize on the deuce points when each game is decided. I'm still happy of the team's effort. We have two tough matches next week against Augustana and Sioux Falls, but we are looking forward to competing against them." - Head Coach Leo Millet.
 
UP NEXT... The Peacocks will challenge Augustana University and the University of Sioux Falls on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 15-16 in Sioux Falls, S.D.
