The Miami University tennis team has its last home matchup against Northern Illinois University (NIU) Friday for a shot at the Red and White’s fourth-straight regular season Mid-American Conference (MAC) title.

The RedHawks (11-9, 6-0 MAC) have 31 consecutive regular season wins in conference play and are on a six-match winning streak, with Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and Western Michigan University (WMU) being the most recent victims.

The victories against BGSU and WMU were also a part of Miami’s 6-0 run at home this season.

“The team is getting better with each and every match and we are looking forward to hosting Northern Illinois on Friday and getting closer to our goal of winning the MAC,” Head Coach Anca Dumitrescu said.

Senior Stephanie Danesis is on a roll of her own, winning six-straight matches in singles play, as well as teaming with freshman Christine Guerrazzi in doubles for a 9-7 decision against WMU for the doubles point.

Guerrazzi is putting up a tremendous season, going 18-10 in singles play on the year and getting victories in eight of the last 10 matchups. Fellow Senior Rieke Honiball is also picking up her game, snapping a four-match skid in singles with consecutive victories over the weekend.

Against the Falcons, the ’Hawks reeled off five wins in singles play to defeat Bowling Green 5-2. The following day, the Red and White continued their success in singles while establishing a prescence in doubles for a 5-2 victory over the Broncos of Western Michigan.

“As a team we are looking forward to playing the NIU Huskies at home this Friday, and continuing our quest to complete the MAC regular season with an undefeated record,” Danesis said.

The Huskies roll into Oxford with plenty of momentum, coming off their 10th win of the season and their first in the MAC against the University of Toledo, 4-3. NIU (10-8, 1-3 MAC) is bringing hot rackets with them, with sophomore Haley Dekkinga on a four-match winning streak in singles play.

The freshman duo of Nelle Youel and Arantza De La Torre are hoping to continue their recent success after picking up a clutch victory to clinch the doubles point against the Rockets last weekend.

The match takes place 1 p.m. Friday on the courts behind Hepburn Hall.
