Iowa Gets Past Women's Tennis, 4-3
February 28, 2010 | Women's Tennis
MINNEAPOLIS -- Iowa squeaked out a win in the doubles point, and the margin was enough to carry the match against the Princeton women's tennis team Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis, Minn.
Princeton, Iowa and Minnesota are each facing the others this weekend in Minneapolis. No. 44 Princeton will meet No. 55 Minnesota at 11 a.m. CT Sunday.
All three of the doubles matches against the Hawkeyes were decided by the minimum two-game margin, and all three went to Iowa. Princeton responded with wins by Rachel Saiontz at third singles, Taylor Marable at fifth and Blakely Ashley at sixth, but Iowa won at first, second and fourth, including a three-set match between 87th-ranked Sonja Molnar and Princeton's Hilary Bartlett at first.
