WEBSTER GROVES - Webster University opened the home portion of its 2019-20 women's tennis season here Saturday at Webster Groves Tennis Center and the Gorloks suffered a 9-0 setback to Anderson (Ind.) University.

With the setback, Webster falls to 0-2 on the season, while Anderson improves to 3-0 on the young season.

In Saturday's match, the teams began with doubles action as the Gorloks dropped all three doubles matches, but made Anderson work for the sweep as sophomore Emma Ferguson (Troy, Mo./Troy Buchanan) and junior Alyssa Tourville (Belleville, Ill./Kaskaskia) made Anna Creech and Jordan Roper work for their win at No. 3 doubles as the Webster tandem fell 8-6. 

The Gorloks other two doubles teams - junior Maggie Federhofer (St. Louis, Mo./Lutheran South) and freshman Erin Brezovar (Muskego, Wis./Muskego) at No. 1 and sophomore Navone Armstrong (St. Louis, Mo./McCluer North) and freshman Elizabeth Hill (Allegan, Mich./Allegan) at No. 2  suffered indentical 8-3 setbacks. 

Meanwhile, in singles play, the Gorloks won a total of 32 games, including Brezovar winning 16 of those games at No. 2 singles. 

In fact, Brezovar's match at the No. 2 spot against Allison Newman was the match of the day. In that match, Brezovar won the first set, 6-3, but Newman was able to rally and win the second set, 6-1 to force a tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, the two players battled back-and-forth all the way to the end as Newman would eventually prevail 11-9.
