College Park, Md. - The women's tennis team (2-1, 0-0 ACC) lost its first match of the year Saturday when it fell 6-1 to the Indiana Hoosiers in the College Park Tennis Center. The Terps garnered two singles wins to capture the only team point of the day.

Freshmen Olivia Dubovikov (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Emily Marker (Ann Arbor, Mich.) teamed up for the first time in the No. 1 doubles position to defeat Kelly Blanch and Martina Grimm 8-2. Sophomore Delila Causevic (Silver Spring, Md.) and junior Pamela Floro (Manilla, Philippines) downed Karie Schlukebir and Linda Tran to secure a 9-8 (6) win at the No. 2 doubles. In the closest and most grueling match, freshman Chloe Chavardes (St. Nombreteche, France) battled through a two-hour match before losing to Grimm 7-5, 7-6 at the No. 5 singles spot. The Hoosiers swept the singles portion of the match and earned one doubles win on the way to a victory.

The Terps are back in action on Saturday when they square off against another Big Ten opponent at 3:00 p.m. Maryland will face Ohio State which is coming off of a tough 7-0 loss to Duke Friday as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Maryland vs. Ohio State match will be played off-campus in the College Park Tennis Center.
