The Michigan women's tennis team's record in its past 12 matches is an umblemished 12-0. It's safe to say the Wolverines are rolling right now.

And Michigan traveled to West Lafayette, Indiana on Saturday to take on Purdue for its final road match of the regular season. The Wolverines added to their perfect record in Big Ten play — now 8-0 — and improved to 18-3 overall on the season.

No. 4 Michigan swept the doubles competition, earning the important first point in the early portion of the day’s action. It was the seventh time in Big Ten play that the team won all three doubles matches.

“Obviously the goal is to go up 1-0, and we’ve had really good success with that,” Michigan coach Ronni Bernstein said. “I think the girls are confident going into doubles, and it definitely helped going into singles. It takes some of the pressure off.”

And with the decreased pressure, the Wolverines thrived in singles play. They won five of the six matches, with the lone loss by the team’s number-one player, junior Denise Muresan.

Muresan — ranked No. 20 nationally in singles — had a nine-match winning streak coming into Saturday. But after winning her doubles match with senior Tania Mahtani, Muresan’s singles streak ended at the hands of Purdue’s Michelle Sammons.

Bernstein is confident that Muresan will bounce back.

“It was difficult for Denise,” Bernstein said. “(The windy) conditions were tough for her, but I expect her to be back next Saturday to start a new win streak.”

Junior captain Whitney Taney continued her strong singles play. She defeated Jennifer Rabot, who is ranked No. 111 nationally in singles and was 5-1 in Big Ten play coming into the match.

“Whitney did a great job because the girl she played today was very athletic,” Bernstein said. “But she stayed real positive the whole time, and it was a very, very good win for her.”

The Wolverines will look to continue their stellar season next weekend at home against Illinois on Saturday and Indiana on Sunday.

As the semester and regular season wind down, Michigan hopes the home cooking can help them complete their quest for Big Ten perfection.

“We have confidence, but we have two really tough matches at home next weekend,” Bernstein said. “Hopefully we’ll have a great crowd out there than can help us at our home court.”

Now in her third season, Bernstein has led her team to consecutive second-round appearances in the NCAA Championship, as well as two straight runner-up finishes at the Big Ten Tournament.

After falling just one match short of the title two seasons in a row, Bernstein hopes that this is the year the Wolverines can call themselves Big Ten champions.

“We put ourselves in a position to win it, so we want to win out (the regular season) and go into the tournament and give it a go,” Bernstein said. “But we’re just taking it one match at a time. We’re feeling good about where we are in the program, and we think we can do it, but it’ll come down to how we compete and how we play when the time comes.”
