HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth women's tennis team suffered its first loss of the season on Sunday inside Boss Tennis Center, falling 6-1 to Michigan State. Katie Weber, competing at the No. 6 singles position, picked up the Big Green's lone victory.

Michigan State clinched the doubles point wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 positions before claiming five of six singles matches. Weber and Michela Moore were leading 5-3 on Court 2 when doubles play stopped.

Moore nearly added a win at the No. 1 position, narrowly falling to Michigan State's Matilde Morais in a 10-point tie-break after winning the second set. Brooke Hess (No. 4) also won the second set of her match to force a third. Weber's victory came in three-set fashion with the senior having won the first set and lost the second.

Dartmouth is back in action next weekend at Harvard for the ECAC Championship, which begins Friday, Feb. 9.
