Women’s Tennis Wraps Up First Fall Tournament

Box Score NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb women's tennis kicked off their fall season on Friday, Sept. 15th with the first day of the 2023 Lipscomb/Belmont Fall Invite. The Bisons took on Arkansas State, Ball State, and Belmont over the course of the weekend.

"This weekend was a really great start to the year! It was so fun to kick off the year on our home courts along with Belmont," said head coach Jamie Aid. "It was awesome to see some of our new girls take to the court for the Bisons for the first time!"
 
The Purple and Gold switched up doubles and singles opponents each day. Lipscomb's squad won all nine singles matches over the course of the weekend and picked up nine singles wins over two days of competition as the third was put off due to weather conditions.
 
Friday saw the squad take on Ball State in doubles and Arkansas State in singles. Newcomers Deborah Dominguez Collado teamed up with Rut Galindo at the top spot for a 6-4 win.
 
Returners Sasha Dobranos and Anja Trbeznik competed on court two for the Bisons and brought home a 6-2 victory. Sophomore Sofiia Paladi partnered with freshman Mariya Dolzhenko at the No. 3 spot and the duo recorded a 7-5 win over their Cardinal opponents.
 
The Bisons faced the Arkansas State Red Wolves in singles play and four members of the Bisons' squad brought home wins in straight sets. Dobranos collected a 6-4, 6-1 win at the top spot.
 
Newcomers Galindo and Dolzhenko competed on the next two courts and earned 6-0, 6-1 and 6-0, 6-4 wins respectively. Dominguez Collado earned the squad's final singles win of the day on court five with a 6-2, 6-1 victory.
 
Saturday's lineup for the Bisons held local foe Belmont in doubles and Ball State for singles play. Lipscomb's squad competed with the same lineups for doubles play on the second day of competition, bringing home wins of 6-3, 6-3, and 6-1 on their respective courts.
 
Singles play saw Dobranos bring in her second singles win of the weekend in a 6-0, 4-6, 10-6 battle against her Cardinal competitor. Dolzhenko (6-1, 6-2), Paladi (6-3, 7-6 (7-0)), Dominguez Collado (6-1, 6-0), and Cherniaieva (6-0, 4-6, 10-8) brought home the squad's four remaining singles wins for the weekend over their Ball State opponents on courts three through six.
 
Sunday's singles matchup against Belmont was canceled due to the weekend's weather conditions, but the Bisons continued their impressive doubles weekend with their matchup against Arkansas State.
 
The Bisons maintained their doubles pairings from earlier in the weekend and all three duos won their matches with six games. Galindo and Dominguez Collado went 6-2 on court one while Dobranos and Trbeznik went 6-4 on court two. Dolzhenko and Paladi secured the Purple and Gold's final doubles win of the weekend with a 6-3 victory on court three.

"I'm very encouraged with how we are starting doubles on the year. Our doubles matches had lots of energy and many of our players were willing to be aggressive, which is something we can build on," Aid continued. "This group enjoys the game of tennis and being together on the courts. Right now, we are enjoying our time together and are trying to improve daily."
