The Calvin women's tennis team picked up a 6-3 non-conference victory over Aquinas College Saturday inside Calvin's Huizenga Tennis and Track Center. The Knights are 2-0 on the season.

A year ago, Calvin dropped an 8-1 decision to Aquinas but on Saturday, the Knights turned the tables with a strong run of singles play.

Aquinas took a 2-1 lead after doubles play with senior Megan Visser and sophomore Claire Spoelhof teaming up for an 8-3 win at one doubles for Calvin's lone doubles point.

Calvin then rallied to take five of the six singles flights to clinch the match.

Visser dug down and won a 7-6, 7-5 match at No. 1 singles over Akita Bhatia. Sophomore Ellie Benzel was a 6-2, 7-5 winner over Tiffany Tuori at No. 3 singles.

Freshman Jessica Bouma then claimed a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 win over Marjeanne Bothma at No. 4 singles. Senior Ali Roode was a 6-3, 6-1 winner over Jenelle Miller at No. 5 singles and freshman Kari Kroeze defeated Brit Mayer 6-4, 6-0 at No. 6 singles.

The lone singles point for Aquinas came from Anna Musienko at No. 2 singles as she defeated Spoelhof 6-3, 6-1.

"This was a great team win for us today," said Calvin women's tennis coach Kevin VanHaitsma. "Aquinas is a very strong team that beat us 8-1 last year.  We got a big win from our #1 doubles team.  They played one of the best matches they have played together.  Ellie got the momentum going in singles with a win versus a player she lost to a year ago.  Megan had a great win against their number 1.  Jessica pulled out a nice three-set win, then Ali and Kari came away with the final 2 points to give us the win.   This was one of best matches for our program in the last couple of years."

Calvin will now break until next Friday when it travels to Wheaton (IL) for a non-conference match.
