#2 Women’s Tennis Takes Two on Wednesday; Will Play Temple on Friday
The Emory University women’s tennis team, ranked second in
the nation, ran its winning streak to eight matches on Wednesday
with a 9-0 victory over Coe College, and a 7-2 win against the
University of Rochester in Orlando, FL.
Playing without their top singles player and the defending NCAA
Division III singles champion, Lorne McManigle,
the Eagles did not skip a beat in their first match win over
Coe. The Eagles swept through all the doubles and singles
matches, including perfect 6-0, 6-0 wins for senior Sara
Vrabec in the fourth singles match, and for freshman
Amanda Wikman in the fifth-singles contest.
Still without McManigle in the second match, the Eagles were able
to dispatch with Rochester 7-2. The Eagles took an early 3-0
lead after doubles play, getting an 8-4 win in the first match from
Sabra Rogers and Tshema Nash, an
8-3 win in the second contest from Jordan Wylie
and Lindsay Reidenbach, and an 8-2 win in the
third-doubles contest. In singles play, Emory received
straight-set wins from Wylie in the second match, Reidenbach in the
third, Wikman in the fourth and Emily Wein in the
sixth.
Emory remained undefeated with a 10-0 record against NCAA Division
III opponents this season with the victories on Wednesday.
The Eagles are now 12-2 overall, while Coe dropped to 9-3 on the
season, and Rochester fell to 5-3.
The Eagles also announced on Wednesday that they will be playing an
additional match on their Orlando spring break trip, as Emory will
face NCAA Division I institution Temple University on Friday at
11:30 AM. The Owls are 3-6 overall this season, and will be
the first Division I opponent for the Eagles the season.
