ORLANDO, Fla. – Freshman women’s tennis player Indianna Spink represented the Hogs well in Orlando at the NCAA Championships, giving her best effort but ultimately falling to Oregon’s No. 17 Janice Tjen in the first round 6-2, 6-2.

Spink struck first, taking the first game of the match and going on top, 1-0. She and Tjen traded points for the first four games and the two were tied at 2-2 when Tjen stormed out to a 6-2 first-set win.
