Eastern (6-5) split its most recent doubleheader, Feb. 18, defeating Northwood 7-0, before falling to Michigan State, 6-1. Redshirt senior Luisa Pelayo (Porto, Portugal-Colegio CEBES (Wright State)) had herself a day, going 2-0 in singles competition, and defeating the Spartans two-time All-Big Ten honoree, Mary Lewis, at No. 1, 7-5, 6-4. The performance earned Pelayo her first Mid-American Conference Singles Player of the Week honors. Freshman Sabina Brichackova (Cheb, Czech Republic-Gymnazium Jana Blahoslava) saw her undefeated streak end at 8-0, after falling to her MSU opponent at No. 4 in a three-set battle, 4-6, 6-3, 11-9.
Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, Butler (1-8, 0-1 Big East) is on a five-match losing streak, dating back to Feb. 6, and has lost six of its last seven contests. Two of those losses came at the hands of Mid-American Conference teams Ball State (6-1), and Western Michigan (6-1), Jan. 30, and Feb. 19, respectively.
Bellarmine (0-10) has had a slow start to its season, as it still searches for its first win. The Knights most recently dropped two matches to Tennessee, Feb. 20, 4-0, 7-0. Additionally, the Broncos of WMU have also topped the Louisville-based squad, 4-0, Feb. 12.
Losing its last match to Georgia Tech, 7-0, Mercer (5-5) looks to get back on track. The Bears have lost three of their last four contests, with the sole win in that stretch coming against Georgia College, Feb. 16, 6-1.
