Edinboro Falls at IUP in PSAC Quarterfinals, Awaits to Hear NCAA Tournament Fate

INDIANA, Pa. (April 18, 2017) – The Edinboro University women's tennis team made their first PSAC Tournament appearance in 14 years on Tuesday, taking on 35th-ranked Indiana (Pa.) in the league quarterfinals. The Fighting Scots, seeded third in the PSAC West, fell to the second-seeded Crimson Hawks by a 5-0 score.

Edinboro now stands at 11-6, and will await word on a possible NCAA Atlantic Region Tournament selection. Indiana (Pa.), now 17-5, moves on to the PSAC Semifinals on Friday, where they will take on West Chester, the top seed in the PSAC East, at Bloomsburg University. IUP and the Boro were ranked second and fifth, respectively, in the NCAA Atlantic Region poll entering Tuesday, with the Crimson Hawks also ranked 35th nationally by the ITA.

Head coach Lee Underwood's team qualified for their first conference tournament since the program was resurrected in 2011. The Fighting Scots' last tournament appearance was in 2003, when every school qualified. Both the Edinboro men's and women's teams were discontinued following that season.

IUP took the first two doubles matches at the first and second spot, but Edinboro's tandem of Anastasiya Dasik and Jelena Vucenovic gave Sophie Butland and Katya Minchenkova a tight battle on three. The match went to a tiebreaker, with the Fighting Scots coming up just short. Indiana (Pa.) went on to post victories in the second and fifth singles spots to clinch the match.
