Four singles wins get Bees past Hamline
Highlighted by Maggie Sullivan's super-tiebreaker win at No. 1 singles, St. Ambrose took down Hamline 6-3 at the River Cities Tennis Club in Clinton, Iowa, Saturday.
Sullivan's 6-2, 4-6, 10-6 win at No. 1 was one of four singles victories for the Bees, who were forced indoors due to rain.
Julia Turek earned a 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles. Kaylee Camp won 6-3, 6-4 at No. 3. And Paige Bily didn't drop a game in her 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4.
SAU also won two of the three doubles matches. Sullivan and Camp teamed for an 8-2 win at No. 1 and Bily and Hayley Hoffman earned an 8-1 victory at No. 3.
The Bees, now 3-3 overall, will host Western Illinois Sunday before visiting Truman State next Saturday.
