April 5, 2007 PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Aissatou Ba, sister Fatoumata Ba and Tonaio Swangin all picked up their first win of the year as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) fell to rival Delaware State University (DSU) in women's tennis, 4-3. Aissatou Ba got her win in a thriller at #2 singles topping Kelly Carrigan 7-6, 5-7, 6-3. Fatoumata Ba won at #3 singles 6-3, 1-6, 6-1 over Stephanie Peels. Dorsey got her win in another close match at #6 singles over Yyone Dennis, 7-5, 5-7, 11-9. DSU won the other singles matches.
