Tennis: Teams see different results

The Butler women’s tennis team finished its regular season by beating Youngstown State 4-3 Sunday.

The Bulldogs (8-14, 5-3) were led by senior Cam Thompson at No. 4 singles.

Thompson defeated sophomore Gimena Puppo 6-1, 6-3 to get Butler rolling against the Penguins (1-17, 1-7).

Bulldogs’ sophomores Angelina Qin and Laura Shull won their No. 5 and No. 6 singles matches by default, because the Penguins played only four players.
