ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Competing in its first of four straight road contests, Rutgers tennis fell to No. 11 Michigan, 7-0, Saturday afternoon at the Varsity Tennis Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The Scarlet Knights (6-12, 0-8 B1G) dropped the doubles point and were unsuccessful in singles action as the Wolverines (14-4, 6-0 B1G) captured their sixth straight conference win of the season.
In singles play, senior Mariam Zein (Sugarland, Texas) pushed her No. 4 singles match to a third set against Michigan's Mira Ruder-Hook. Zein was triumphant in the first set, securing a decisive 6-3 advantage over Ruder-Hook in the opening stanza. But Ruder-Hook would bounce back with 6-2 and 1-0 (3) wins to capture the match.
RU has a quick turnaround, as the Scarlet Knights head to East Lansing, Mich., to take on Michigan State on Sunday at 11 a.m. A preview of the Spartans can be found here.
