EVANSVILLE, Ind.--- University of Southern Indiana's women tennis squad fell to Eastern Michigan University, 7-0, Friday Evening at the Evansville Tennis Center.

This was not an ideal start to the Screaming Eagles' season, but there were a couple signs of promise that were on display.

First, while most of the Screaming Eagles struggled in their singles matches, junior Lauryn Thompson mustered to win three games in each of her sets, the most by any USI player for the night. Thompson did eventually fall 6-3, 6-3 in her match.

In the doubles, the team composed of sophomores Shelby Braselton and Kylie Skepnek fought their way to a well-earned, 7-5 victory. 

The Eagles look to bounce back on Feb. 22 when they play host to the Knights of Marian University back at the Evansville Tennis Center with matches starting at 4 P.M.
