DETROIT, Mich. - The Davenport women's tennis team wrapped up their conference schedule on Friday with a 7-0 loss to No. 8 Wayne State. DU is now 12-11 overall and 2-5 in the GLIAC.

They are tied with Saginaw Valley State and Ferris State could make it a three-way tie with a loss tomorrow against Michigan Tech. Stay tuned to see what will transpire in the next 24 hours of action.

The doubles portion of the match saw the Warriors get two of the three to earn the point.

The other two doubles matches were tight as Amy Bloch and Willemien Coetzee fell 6-4 at one doubles against Anais Ruyssen and Marta Komar. Martyna Szpakowska and Shanice Weekes at three doubles for the Warriors needed to go a little extra to win 7-5 over Isabella Carofano and Louise Hosking.
