NOTRE DAME, Indiana — The Notre Dame Women’s Tennis team recorded two weekend victories over Ball State and Toledo at the Eck Tennis Pavilion on Friday and Saturday afternoons. 

In Friday’s intrastate showdown, the Irish jumped out to a quick, 1-0 lead over the Cardinals behind doubles victories from Corse/Freeman — the 19th ranked duo in the country — as well as Lilien/Andreach and Coleman/Koscielski.

On the heels of her doubles victory, Maeve Koscielski was the first to make her mark in singles play, winning a 6-0, 6-1 decision over Becca Herrington to extend the Irish lead to 2-0. Page Freeman, Julia Lilien, Ally Bojczuk, and Julia Andreach followed quickly behind, all notching victories over their Cardinal counterparts.

Corse and Freeman clinched the doubles point with a 6-0 victory of their own before Coleman and Yellayi earned the third doubles win of the day.

Ally Bojczuk claimed a 6-1, 6-1 decision over Eileen Carney to add to the Irish lead, making it 2-0.
