GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The women's tennis team in a Division II matchup at MVP SportsPlex on a mellow mid-winter afternoon triumphed over Walsh 4-1. The Panthers looked to bounce back from a tough loss last weekend.

Coetzee, at three singles, earned a lopsided win over Uzcategui 6-0, 6-3, 6-4. For four singles, Mikael's match was deemed unfinished right after she fought to win the second set 5-7, 7-5. Carofano earned a promising 6-3, 6-2 victory over Mayer. Hosking at six singles was settled as unfinished right as she was a game away from the second set, 3-6, 5-4.
