NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The No. 37 nationally-ranked Yale women’s tennis team won all six singles matches in straight sets and claimed victory in all three doubles matches en route to a convincing 7-0 sweep of Quinnipiac on Friday afternoon at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center in New Haven, Conn. The Bulldogs improve to 11-4 with the impressive win while the visiting Bobcats fall to 5-3.

Vicky Brook, Jessica Rhee, Elizabeth Epstein, Stevi Petrelli, Lindsay Clark and Sarah Lederhandler all swept through their singles matches for Yale. The doubles teams of Brook/Rhee, Clark/Epstein and Petrelli/Silia DeFilippis also earned wins for the Bulldogs.
