HOUSTON — Northwest Missouri State’s No. 1 singles player didn’t get a full chance to show what she could do against the nation’s eighth-ranked player.
Barry (Fla.) University’s three quick victories in doubles play and two more in singles didn’t even allow Kristina Vucenov to finish her match against Ildiko Csordas, as the No. 8 Buccaneers already had assured themselves a first-round 5-0 victory over the Bearcats in the Round of 16 at the NCAA Division II Women’s Tennis Championships in Houston.
With three Missouri teams in the Round of 16 in the NCAA Division II Women’s Tennis Championships, Northwest Missouri State’s Bearcats and coach Mark Rosewell will have a few familiar faces around in Houston.
Northwest, Drury and Southwest Baptist are all still alive and kicking at the NCAA’s Sports Festival.
But for any head-to-head matchups to occur, Rosewell’s team will have to advance farther than it has in school history.
Northwest Missouri State guard Lance Sullivan has been indefinitely suspended from the basketball team following his Friday arrest on a charge of distributing a controlled substance to a minor. Sullivan, a 21-year-old junior from Columbus, Ohio, was arrested at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department, where he was held until posting a $15,000 bond on Tuesday.
