NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's tennis team has won six of its last seven matches, including last Saturday's Ivy League opener vs. Brown. That has vaulted the Bulldogs to No. 62 in the latest ITA national poll. Yale (10-7, 1-0 Ivy) will be tested this weekend when No. 48 Princeton (Saturday) and Penn (Sunday) visit the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center. Matches begin both days at noon and will be streamed live by Stretch Internet if played indoors.
 
Caroline Dunleavy has a three-match winning streak at No. 2 singles for the Bulldogs. She earned a hard-fought three-set victory in the 4-1 win over Brown. Rhea Shrivastava and Chelsea Kung were also winners in singles against the Bears.
 
Princeton (6-9, 1-0 Ivy) beat Penn 4-0 in its Ivy opener last weekend. Six of the Tigers' nine losses have come against teams ranked in the top 20. Princeton features the nation's top-ranked singles player in Daria Frayman.
 
The Quakers (10-8, 0-1 Ivy) play at Brown on Saturday. Penn has victories over Rutgers, UC San Diego, Penn State and West Virginia on its resume.
 
The Bulldogs hit the road for the first time in Ivy play next weekend, traveling to Cornell and Columbia.
