Box Score SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – The Skidmore College women's tennis team capped a successful hosting of the 2025 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast Regional Championships with a stellar final day, highlighted by freshman Ginevra Muratori capturing the Singles title before teaming with fellow freshman Amelie Gonzalez for a runner-up finish in doubles play. 

SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP

DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP

FROM HEAD COACH CURT SPEERSCHNEIDER
"Proud weekend for these young Thoroughbreds.  Of course we had the standout performances from Ginevra in singles and Ginevra and Amelia in doubles.  They just played solid smart tennis all weekend, and got stronger with each match.  They showed a ton of resolve in each match along with mental and physical toughness.  I think Ginevra knocked out four seeded players, including the #1 and #2 seeds on her way to the title.  Unbelievable. Even bigger for me was that the entire team competed hard in every match, win or lose. They all set the tone early that they wanted to have success in this tournament.  They each represented Skidmore on and off the court with their performances and support of each other in each match.  This weekend was a success for our entire team and a significant step forward for this young team."
