AKRON, OH - The University at Buffalo dumped Akron, 6-1, in the regular season finale for both teams in women's tennis action Friday afternoon. Due to inclement weather in Akron, the match was moved indoors to the LaTuchie Tennis Center. UB heads into next week's Mid-American Conference Tournament with an 8-6 overall mark and a 4-5 league record, the most wins in the conference since joining in 1999. Akron falls to 6-18 overall and 0-9 in the MAC.

UB opened the match by sweeping the three doubles contests. At number one, Miglena Nenova (Rousse, Bulgaria/Eurointellect) and Kristen Ortman (Amherst, NY/Amherst) defeated Courtney Brenkus and Mindy Price, 8-1. The number two team of Andreea Novaceanu (Bucharest, Romania/Emil Racovita) and Tina Jacob (Singapore/Raffles JC) had an easier time as they shut out Jennifer Ales and Laura Hemlepp, 8-0. The sweep was completed as number three Katrin Fischer (Ternitz, Austria/Borg) and Sabrina Carmona (Sao Paulo, Brazil/MMDC) defeated Vero Duchesne and Amy Sherlock, 8-5.

The Bulls also took five of the six singles matches, all in straight sets. Novaceanu downed Brenkus, 6-2, 6-1, at number one. At number two, Nenova rolled past Sherlock, 6-3, 6-2. Ortman, UB's winningest player in Division I singles history, notched her 40th career win as she knocked off Price, 7-5, 6-2, at number three. Fischer breezed by Stephanie Miles, at number four, by a 6-3, 6-1 margin. Jacob, at number six, allowed just one game to Ales, winning 6-0, 6-1.

The lone UB blemish came at number five as Carmona and Hemlepp split the first two sets to force a super-tiebreaker. Carmona won the first set, 7-5, then dropped the second, 6-4. In the super-tiebreaker, Hemlepp scored a 10-7 victory to take the match and deny the Bulls of the shutout.

UB heads into the MAC Championships in Muncie, IN with its best-ever seeding for the tournament. UB has never been seeded higher than ninth among the 10 squads and entered Friday's action in seventh place. Pairing will be announced early next week.
