TIGERS PICK UP WINS OVER CONCORDIA, UW-STEVENS POINT

NEENAH, Wis. – After narrowly falling to North Park Thursday evening, the Olivet Nazarene University women's tennis team bounced back with wins over Concordia (Wis.) and UW-Stevens Point Sunday afternoon at Valley Fitness.

ONU opened the day with a 6-1 victory over the Falcons before downing the Pointers 5-2 in the nightcap to reach .500 overall on the season at 4-4.

The Purple & Yellow Gold secured the doubles point in both matches, with Natasha Nieto and Rafaela Luna taking down the top matches while Chieh-Yu Chen and Savannah Amatyleon were victorious in both of the women's matches.

Nieto, the defending CCAC Women's Tennis Player of the Week, handled both of the top singles matches. She was up 6-1 against Concordia's Peyton Morgan and won the match via forfeit before knocking off UW-SP's Tristin Jantz in straight sets 6-0, 6-3.

Chen, Luna, and Amatyleon were all victorious in straight sets in both of their respective matches Sunday.

The Tigers will now turn to the conference slate, beginning with a road match at St. Ambrose Saturday.
