Women's Tennis Opens Season with 9-0 Win Over Walsh

The Northwood University women's tennis team opened their 2013-14 season with a 9-0 win over Walsh Friday afternoon (September 6).

The contest was the opener for both teams.

Northwood opened the match by sweeping the three doubles matches, dropping a total of just nine games in the three contests.  NU then went on to win all six singles matches without dropping a set.

The match also marked the return of former GLIAC Player of the Year Darina Berkova.  She played for three seasons for the Timberwolves from the 2007-08 through the 2009-10 seasons, going 44-5 in GLIAC play at the No. 1 singles positions.  Berkova is back at Northwood earning her Master's Degree.
