ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley's women's tennis team clinched a home playoff match thanks to an 8-1 victory over conference foe Albright at the Shankroff Tennis Center on Saturday afternoon, April 28.
 
With the Lions (0-17, 0-7 MAC Commonwealth) short on players, LVC (10-6, 6-1 MAC Commonwealth) earned three forfeit victories in doubles action, with the top team of Marla Scacchitti and Melanie Haas, the No. 2 duo of Megan Williams and Sammy Bost, and the No. 3 pairing of Elise Hanks-Witaszek and Emily Wilczek being credited with wins.
 
Bost earned a 6-0, 6-0 sweep over Albright Mary Kramer in the No. 2 singles contest, while Williams added the second sweep of solo play for the Flying Dutchmen with a 6-0, 6-0 decision over Victoria Metzinger in the third spot. Elizabeth Drda, Meridyth Sanders, and Hanks-Witaszek were awarded victories in the No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 slots, respectively.
