DAYTON, Ohio - The Wright State University women’s tennis team defeated Northern Kentucky University, 6-3, on Tuesday to give the Norse their first loss of the season.

NKU took a 2-1 lead after the three doubles matches, but Wright State won five of the six singles matches to capture the victory. NKU sophomore Jamie O’Hara remained unbeaten (10-0) this season at No. 1 singles by defeating Melissa Dunham-Freer, 6-3, 5-7, 7-5.
