PERRYSBURG, Ohio -- Miami won its 20th straight Mid-American Conference regular-season tennis match Friday, earning a 5-2 victory over Bowling Green at the Perrysburg Tennis Center. The RedHawks (12-5, 3-0) took the doubles point, then won four of six during singles play.
Doubles play started with a Miami win at No. 2 as Riekie Honiball and Jessica Parr continued their stellar play with an 8-4 win. The duo is now 9-2 overall this year, including 3-0 in the MAC. The Falcons (10-5, 1-2) tied the score at 1-1 with an 8-3 win at No. 3, but the RedHawks' top team came through.
