WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue women's tennis team racked up its seventh win in eight matches (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) after downing the Indiana Hoosiers (5-5, 0-1 Big Ten), 4-2, at Schwartz Tennis Center.
Not only was the dual the first meeting between the two programs in Big Ten season-opening fashion, but marked the seventh victory in the last eight years versus the Hoosiers and the 11th win all-time for head coach Laura Glitz.
In its highest attended match this season, the Boilermakers put on a show, taking the doubles point after coming down to the last court in play: the No. 1 doubles pair of Tara Katarina Milic and Carmen Gallardo Guevara. Ashlie Wilson and Ida Clement were the first to finish at the No. 3 singles position, winning 6-2. After falling at No. 2 doubles, Milic and Gallardo Guevara closed out the match, 6-4.
In singles, No. 1 singles Gallardo Guevara completed a bagel in Set 1 before securing Purdue's first point during singles play with a 6-4 Set 2 score. The senior improves to 6-1 this season and 15-7 overall during the 2024-25 academic year and will finish her collegiate career with three consecutive wins and 3-1 overall singles record against the Hoosiers.
No. 120 Ece Gencer registered the third Purdue point of the day behind a 6-3, 6-4 result. With the result, the freshman improves to a 7-1 record this spring and a 17-4 overall. Meanwhile, Ida Clement secured the victory for the Boilermakers at the No. 3 singles position in three sets: 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.
Purdue will face its second road contest of the year when the team travels to Ohio State for a Friday matinee in Columbus, Ohio. The match is slated for a 1 p.m. ET start.
