The women’s tennis team bounced back last weekend after a loss to Ball State the week prior.
In a dual match on Saturday, the Braves cruised to a 7-0 victory against Western Illinois. The Braves continued the hot streak with another 7-0 victory against University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
The Braves were able to improve last year’s win total of four with their fifth and sixth wins on Saturday. Head coach Matt Tyler said the team made improvements this week following the loss to Ball State.
“Our focus was much better,” Tyler said. “We had a great week of practice and really came out energized.”
Bradley had the challenge of playing two matches in one day. The team took on Western Illinois at 9 a.m. with a break before taking on Green Bay at 3 p.m. The break did not stop them as Bradley’s hot hand continued.
“The three doubleheaders we have had have prepared us very well for upcoming matches,” Tyler said. “Having the physical stamina and mental ability to refocus for two long matches is important.”
The Braves had the home court in both matches and used that to their advantage.
“Being at home and being in your own bed definitely contributed to feeling better on the court,” Tyler said.
The Braves return to action later today as they travel to Omaha-Nebraska for a dual match starting at 1 p.m.
