Rose-Hulman relied on a pair of singles wins and two doubles victories to record a 4-4 score against Hanover.  The deciding match featured a two-set victory by Engineer sophomore Kristin Wilson (Lake Zurich, Ill.) with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Aly Ernstberger at the No. 6 singles position.

Previous Rose-Hulman winners against Hanover included freshman Sam Danesis (Akron, Ohio/Revere) with a 6-3, 6-4 victory at No. 1 singles; sophomore Betsy Marschand (Galveston/Lewis Cass) with a 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 5 singles; the doubles team of Danesis and freshman Julie Hopkins (Terre Haute/Northview/ Saddlebrook Acad.) by an 8-3 margin at No. 1 doubles; and the team of Wilson and sophomore Maritza Gonzalez (Vancouver, Wash./Mountain View) at No. 3 doubles with a 9-7 win.

Bellarmine recorded a perfect 5-0 record in tiebreakers to earn a tightly contested 7-2 win over Rose-Hulman in non-conference action earlier Sunday.  Hopkins and Danesis earned an 8-6 victory at No. 1 doubles, while Gonzalez and Wilson combined for an 8-5 victory at No. 3 doubles.

Rose-Hulman stands 7-3 overall on the season and hosts Oakland City University on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the Joy Hulbert Tennis Center.
