In its lone match of the weekend, the University of Minnesota Duluth suffered a 6-3 setback at the hands of Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference rival Minnesota State University-Mankato Saturday afternoon in St. Peter, Minn. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 1-9 overall and 1-8 in the NSIC with one week to go in their 2014 season.
The Mavericks (4-16; 3-7) commenced the match by winning two of the three doubles events with the lone UMD victory coming from senior
Kelsey Cunningham and freshman
Briana Rademacher, who won 8-2 over MSU's Abby Schmidt and Danni Barr. Sophomore
Delaney Dobbs bested Barr in straight sets in No. 6 singles to improve her 2014 record to 6-3 while rookie
Kaitlin Wohnoutka prevailed in a two-set victory over Alexis Ronney at No. 4 to account for the other Bulldog triumph.
