BLOOMINGTON, Ind. <\/strong>— The No. 52 Indiana women\u2019s tennis team upended the 20th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Sunday in the IU Tennis Center, 4-3.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers responded after Notre Dame swept the doubles point by winning four singles matches to earn the upset victory. The match lasted over four and a half hours and saw four of the six singles matches go to a third set.<\/p>\n

After ND took doubles, Indiana\u2019s Stephanie Smith<\/a> and Shannon Murdy<\/a> gave Indiana two quick points with straight-set wins. Smith downed Jane Fennelly in the No. 6 match, 6-1, 6-2, before Murdy defeated Notre Dame\u2019s Julie Vrabel, 6-2, 6-2, at No. 3.<\/p>\n

IU\u2019s Paula Gutierrez<\/a> fell in the first set of her No. 4 match vs. Mary Closs before rebounding to win the second and third sets to give Indiana its third point of the match as she won 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame made it a 3-2 score after Allison Miller edged Indiana\u2019s Sarah Baron<\/a> in the No. 5 match, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2.<\/p>\n

All eyes turned to the No. 1 and No. 2 matches as each of those were heading to a third set. Alecia Kauss<\/a>, playing at No. 2, dropped a first-set tiebreaker to ND\u2019s Monica Robinson, but then rolled through the second and third sets to defeat Robinson, 6-7, 6-1, 6-3, to clinch the team win for Indiana.<\/p>\n

The only match remaining was at No. 1 between Katie Klyczek<\/a> of Indiana and Quinn Gleason of Notre Dame. Klyczek took the first set, 6-4. In the second set, Klyczek had the match in hand with an opportunity at five match points in the set, but could never close. Gleason took the tiebreak 7-3.<\/p>\n

The third set also ended up knotted at 6-6. Klyczek jumped ahead 6-3 in the tiebreak, but Gleason rallied back to win the tiebreak 8-6 and the match.<\/p>\n

Indiana will next hit the road to take on Tennessee on Saturday, Feb. 21. That match is set to begin in Knoxville at 10:30 a.m. ET<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n
