(MOUNT VERNON, Ohio) – The Wilmington College women's tennis team lost their final fall dual of the season on the road Saturday morning to the Mount Vernon Nazarene University Cougars, 7-0.

The Cougars won the doubles point before heading into singles play. Four players won a set for the Quakers, with freshman Bailey Wheeler having the most success at No. 2 singles. She took Deah Bresson to the limit in their two-set match, going into extra games of set one before falling 7-5. She fought hard, but dropped set two, 6-4.

At No. 1 singles, freshman Jenna Pletcher won four games in her first set against Annie Mahek. Junior Ella Kirby won five total games against Andi Green at No. 3 singles, losing 6-4, 6-1.

Sophomore Kaci Daily won one game against Alanna Reyes at No. 4 singles.

"We played hard and definitely showed improvement in a lot of areas," said Quakers Head Coach Jayson Wiseman. "Jenna and Ella both put themselves in position to take their first sets, and Bailey was right with her opponent game for game in both sets. I'm incredibly pleased with the effort and focus I saw today. We will take what we learned into the offseason and focus on coming back in the spring even stronger."
