EVANSVILLE, Ind.—The University of Southern Indiana women's tennis team could not climb out of a 2-1 deficit as it fell to the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 5-4, in a non-conference match Wednesday at the USI Tennis Courts.

After falling into a 2-0 hole with losses at number one and three doubles, the Screaming Eagles got a much-needed 9-7 victory from sophomore Ellena Stumpf and freshman Morgan Coquerille at number two doubles.

Sophomore Lindsey White's straight-set victory at number two singles kept the Eagles alive after USI suffered losses at number one and three singles.

Stumpf and freshman Alyssa Hoover had wins at number four and six singles, respectively, but a straight-set loss at number five singles ended USI's chance at a comeback.

The Eagles return to Great Lakes Valley Conference play Friday at 1 p.m. (CDT) when they visit the University of Indianapolis in a men's and women's doubleheader.
