FREDERICK, Md. – Lebanon Valley's women's tennis team fell one decision shy of a clean sweep in the team's 8-1 road victory over MAC Commonwealth foe Hood on Saturday afternoon.
The team's only defeat came in doubles play but the Flying Dutchmen (8-4, 2-0 MAC Commonwealth) still emerged with a 2-1 advantage after the first three contests of the day.
Rebecca Pierpont and
Elise Hanks-Witaszek swept Hood's Kara Conway and Bianca Hoch 8-0 in the second doubles contest, while
Megan Williams and
Alyssa Potosnak did the same to Autumn Manche and Eboni Staples in the No. 3 outing.
That success translated into singles play, as every one of LVC's six players emerged victorious in just two sets.
Marla Scacchitti knocked off Michelle Shedd in the top match and Pierpont took care of Meaghan Donahue 6-1, 6-0 in the second outing.
Melanie Haas swept Hoch 6-0, 6-0 in the No. 3 contest, Potosnak handled Conway 6-0, 6-1 in the fourth singles matchup, and
Elizabeth Drda went 6-2, 6-0 over Manche in the No. 5 pairing. Williams completed the singles sweep with a 6-0, 6-0 individual sweep of Staples in the sixth contest.
The Dutchmen get a few days of rest until they travel to Arcadia for another conference outing on Tuesday afternoon.
