LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bellarmine women's tennis hosted the Bellarmine Hidden Duals this weekend and came away with its most victories of the fall season.
 
Overall, the Knights went 24-10 over two days of tennis versus opponents from Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, and Indiana Tech.  Bellarmine posted a 10-2 record in doubles and 14-8 mark in singles action.
 
"It was great weekend overall for the ladies," Knights Head Coach Brian Slack said.  "We came out and played really well in doubles which was exciting to see! The singles has been a priority since playing at MTSU, and I felt like we have come a long way in the past couple of weeks. There are some things we do need to clean up overall, and we will work on those things through the rest of the fall to get us ready for the spring season!"

The doubles team of Ekterina Tikhonko and Vendula Kryslova won its two matches this weekend and moved to an outstanding 6-1 this year.  As a squad, Bellarmine won seven of its eight doubles matches on Sunday.  Most notably in singles, freshman Hanley Riner went a perfect 3-0 on the weekend.
