INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Cleveland State women's tennis fell to Butler, 4-3 on Sunday afternoon. The loss drops the squad to 13-6 for the season and 2-2 in the Horizon League.
The Vikings could not claim the doubles point, winning one match in doubles competition. Freshmen duo of Melissa Holzinger and Jackie Tabb won at No. 3 doubles, winning 8-3 over Michelle Hawes and Tiffany McLoughlin.
Nos. 3 through 5 singles picked up the three points CSU took from Butler.

Sophomore Charlotte Gibbons won 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 over Tiffany McLoughlin at No. 5 singles.
"Our No. 3 doubles team was able to win, but we fell too far behind at No. 1 and 2 doubles," head coach Brian Etzkin said. "We went up 3-2 after our Nos. 3 through 5 won, but unfortunately could not keep the lead. This loss makes this weekend much more important for us preparing for the league championship."
