WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – In a result that came down to the wire, the Purdue women’s tennis team (2-4) dropped a 2-4 decision to Kentucky on Sunday afternoon. The Boilermakers nearly posted a comeback, fighting back from a 0-3 deficit and fending off a dual-clinching set in their efforts.
The Boilermakers fought hard, picking up a win at the No. 2 position in doubles with Ashlie Wilson and Ece Gencer earning the 6-1 win before ultimately dropping the team doubles point.
In singles, Kathryn Wilson secured a 6-4, 6-4 victory at the No. 5 position followed by Ece Gencer’s bagel to secure the 6-3, 2-6, 6-0 win at the No. 1 position.
Up next, Purdue will host Ball State on Friday at 1 p.m. ET, a dual that was rescheduled due to the snowstorm last month.
