Claim Doubles Point for 10th Straight Match
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 19 Yale women's tennis team bounced back from its second loss of the season with an emphatic 7-0 victory over Stony Brook Sunday afternoon at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center. With the win, the Bulldogs move to 8-2 on the season, including a perfect 4-0 mark at home.
Yale has not lost back-to-back matches in nearly two years, and Sunday provided the Bulldogs with a chance to keep that streak intact by bouncing back from a 4-3 loss at Syracuse a week earlier.
This match started as the previous nine had: with Yale winning the doubles point. Senior captain Steph Kent and sophomore Blair Seideman were first off the courts with an 8-4 win at No. 3, and a win at No. 1 by senior Vicky Brook and freshman Hanna Yu clinched the doubles point.
In singles, sophomore Annie Sullivan's win at No. 6 gave Yale a 2-0 lead, and wins by Seideman (at No. 3) and junior Elizabeth Epstein (at No. 1) followed to clinch the match. After Brook won at No. 5, Kent capped a comeback with a win in a third-set tiebreaker at No. 4 and Yu did the same at No. 2.
Yale returns to action Thursday at BU.
