CHENEY, Wash. — Eastern Washington women's tennis hosted Idaho State for its penultimate home match on Saturday. The Bengals grabbed the win from Eastern, 6-1, earning the point in doubles and five in singles.

Starting her final weekend playing at Jim Thorpe Fieldhouse, Isabella Foshee was in command of the No. 1 singles match against Asem Shoybek. The two went back-and-forth in the first set, with Foshee securing a 6-4 win to go up 1-0. The senior then turned up the energy and swept Shoybek in the second set, 6-0 and put the Eagles on the board. 

Olivia Marais opened strong in the No. 5 singles against Olivia Mikkelson, winning 6-4. In the second set, Mikkelson outlasted Marais 7-5 and the match was tied. In the third, Mikkelson jumped out to a 5-1 lead, before Marais closed the gap to 5-4. Mikkelson managed to stay ahead and win the third 10-6 and secure the match victory.

Playing at No. 4, Zoe Pradel was in a fight with Veronika Zarovna. Pradel delivered a win in the first set, 7-6, winning 8-6 in the tiebreaker. Zarovna won the next two sets (6-2, 6-4) to defeat Pradel. 

Anait Arutiunian returned to the courts and opened with a hard-fought win in the first set against Stefanya Shalakhova at the No. 1 position. Shalakhova won the next two sets 6-0 to get the point.

At the No. 3 doubles spot, Arutiunian and Marais had the lead 5-2, but the match was unfinished after the Bengals had clinched the point with wins at No. 1 and 2.
