Christine Chiricosta helped lead Bowling Green’s tennis team as they opened Mid-American Conference play with a 6-1 win over Ball State University last Friday.

With the win, the Falcons improved to 11-3 overall and 1-0 in the MAC, and BGSU has won five consecutive matches.

In doubles play, Chiricosta teamed up with freshman Maddy Eccleston for a decisive 8-2 win at the top flight.

Chiricosta defeated Hayley Hall at the top flight and is now 18th in school history in overall victories.
