FT. WAYNE, Ind. – The Wright State women’s tennis team claimed a pair of back draw championships and held a winning mark against Horizon League opponents at the IPFW Invitational. Freshman Taylor Hines and Amy Nini each won their back draw, while two other WSU players fell in the finals of their back draw over the weekend.

Four of the six WSU singles competitors found themselves playing in the finals of their respective draws. In the #1 singles draw, Kenisha Webb dropped her back draw finale, while senior Jackie Garrett fell in the back draw final of the #6 singles draw.
