LAKEWOOD, Ohio – The Indiana Tech women's tennis team fell to NCAA Division II foe Tiffin University, 5-2, in their spring opener Saturday afternoon at the Lakewood Racquet Club.
 
The Warriors came away with the doubles points after wins from Abigail Simms and Carolina Fabbri (7-6) and Vero Jimenez and Dominique Michelet (6-1) at first and third flight, respectively, but Tech's lone victory after that would come from Elena Tokic at the number five position in a 6-2, 4-6, 12-10 thriller.
 
Simms would battle back from a first-set loss to force a third set, but ultimately fell 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, at the number one position.
 
Tech (5-2) returns to action on Saturday, February 15 as they take on No. 21-ranked Cumberland University in a neutral site matchup in Lima, Ohio. First serve is set for 1 p.m. from the Westwood Tennis and Fitness Center.
