ERIE, Pa. -- Sophomore Dunja Drmac recorded a "double-bagel," 6-0, 6-0 win in the No. 3 singles match Thursday afternoon to lead the 39th-ranked Slippery Rock University women's tennis team to an 8-1 win over hosting Mercyhurst in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division action.

Drmac was one of four Rock players who had a hand in the scoring of two team points in the match. She also teamed with senior Laura Handy to win an 8-2 decision in the No. 1 doubles duel.
