Butler's women's tennis team dropped their Thursday meeting with Indianapolis, 4-3. The Greyhounds opened the season as the No. 8 team in ITA's Division II rankings. 
 
The Bulldogs lost a close doubles point to start. The No. 1 duo of Natalie Boesing and Chase Metcalf led the way cruising to a 6-2 set win. UIndy's No. 2 and No. 3 pairings got the better of their opponents and closed out their point going into singles play. 
 
Butler's No. 1, Boesing, faced a test in last week's GLVC Player of the Week, Margarita Andreiuk, but impressed with a straight set win. Metcalf and Norah Balthazor followed up by earning points of their own. Delaney Schurhamer and UIndy's Anna Novikova battled in a close three-set matchup at the No. 2 that ended up sealing the Greyhound's win. 
 
Butler is in action again this weekend when they visit Chicago for matches on Saturday and Sunday against UIC and DePaul.
