WALTHAM, MA – The Skidmore College women's tennis team fell 5-2 on the road at No. 28 Brandeis on Friday afternoon.
The Thoroughbreds (4-9) secured a pair of match wins at first and second singles, but it wasn't enough as the Judges (8-6) took the doubles point before claiming the remaining singles matches.
DOUBLES MATCHES
- The Thoroughbreds battled at first doubles, as the duo of Amelie Gonzalez/Ginevra Muratori claimed three games before falling to Brandeis' Mandy Reyes/Rebecca Suarez, 6-3.
- At second doubles, the pairing of Ellie Lake/Ruth Wilson picked up one game in a 6-1 loss to the Judges' Milana Sofizade/Nancy Zhang, while Brandeis earned the third doubles point by default due to a lack of available Skidmore players.
SINGLES MATCHES
- At first singles, freshman Ginevra Muratori secured a hard-fought 6-4 opening set win over Brandeis' Rebecca Suarez before being awarded the match victory following a retirement by the Judges player.
- At second singles, first-year Amelie Gonzalez earned a straight-sets victory over Brandeis' Chahana Budhbhatti, winning 6-1, 6-3.
- At third singles, freshman Ellie Lake fell in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), narrowly pushing the second set to a tiebreak.
