ANGOLA, IND. -- The women's tennis team lost their season opener to Grace College by the score of 6-3.
Sophomore Kyra Braun (Portland/Jay County) and freshman Katie Simon (Paw Paw) picked up the team's first win of the match at No. 3 doubles by a margin of 8-3.
Braun then went on to win one of the Thunder's two singles victories. Braun, as the No. 5 singles representative, won by the scores of 6-3 and 6-2. Junior Theresa Magenheimer (Indianapolis/Hamilton Heights) picked up the team's final victory in the No. 4 matchup with scores of 6-3, 4-6 and 10-7.
"We are a young team and yet we still improved on our performance from last year's match against Grace," said Trine head coach Erin Kolar, "We played great tennis and we showed great heart."
Trine's next match takes place Saturday, September 9, at noon when both the women's and men's teams travel to Wittenberg University.
