Youngstown - The Youngstown State women's tennis team capped off a successful homestand with a 4-2 victory over NJIT on Sunday morning at the Boardman Tennis Center.

The Penguins (5-3) won the final three matches of their season-long four-game homestand following the win over NJIT on Sunday.

Picking up wins were Marta Burak (No. 1), Annina Brendel (No. 2), Nehel Sahni (No. 3) and Julianna Heino (No. 5). Victoria Ferry's match at No. 4 ended when the Penguins clinched the win.

At No. 1, Burak won for the ninth straight time winning by a 6-1, 6-1 score. Brendel battled back for a tough three-set win at No. 2. She dropped the first set 6-4 before rebounding to win the next two 6-2, 6-3. At No. 3, Sahni won in straight sets by 6-3, 6-2 count. Heino won 6-3, 4-1 at No. 5 when NJIT was forced to abandon the match. At No. 4, Ferry was in a tight 6-2, 5-7, 3-2 match when it ended.
