The BG women’s tennis team faced two losses this weekend, including their first Mid-American Conference match against Western Michigan Saturday. The women also played and lost to the University of Illinois at Chicago Friday with a score of 5-2. The UIC match brought senior Stefanie Menoff her 77th career singles win, placing her in a tie for third on the BG singles career list. Two more singles wins will give Menoff the record. At UIC, the Falcons faced their first loss with a full lineup. In their past two losses, they were forced to forfeit matches in sixth singles and third doubles due to injury. The win for the Flames improved their non-conference record to 5-5. The BG/WMU match was the MAC season opener for both teams. The women walked away with a 6-1 score, giving them an overall 7-4 record (0-1 MAC). The win gave the nationally No. 56 Broncos their 35th consecutive MAC regular-season victory. WMU has won the last four conference championships and hold a 14-5 record thus far. At the singles second flight, Christine Chiricosta defeated her WMU opponent 7-6, 6-3. At the top doubles flight, Chiricosta and partner Kelsey Jakupcin won 8-2. The Falcons will return home this upcoming weekend to play MAC opponents Toledo on Friday and Eastern Michigan on Saturday. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at Keefe Courts on campus, weather permitting.
