The Georgetown Women?s Tennis team improved its record to 2-3 by shutting out Towson by a score of 7-0 on Saturday, October 20 in the Baltimore Washington Challenge in Towson, Maryland. The Hoyas took every singles match and won the doubles point to take the match 7-0.
To begin the match, the teams squared off in doubles action. The #1 Hoya tandem of Jordan Botjer (Miami, Fla./Ransom Everglades) and Chelsea Kammerer (Deerfield, Ill./ (Michigan)) opened the doubles competition with an 8-6 win over the Tiger team of Emily Weichert and Lindsay Brown. The #2 match featured Hoyas Lydia Bartell (Rancho Santa Fe, Calif./Torrey Pines) and Liora Gelblum (Cupertina, Calif./Monta Vista) in a match against Stacey Pignatelli and Abby Sharp. The Hoyas prevailed by a score of 8-5. The other doubles match saw the #3 Hoya team of Trina Snow (Sartell, Minn./Sartell) and Stephanie Sutton (Arlington, Texas/(Sam Houston State)) defeat the Tiger team of Katie Long and Sarah Dumansky by an 8-4 count.
The Hoya women carried their doubles success into singles action, winning all six matches in convincing style. The #1 singles match saw Gelblum dominate Weichert by a score of 6-1, 6-1. The #2 match was perhaps the most exciting of the day. Bartell lost the first set to Lindsay Brown by a 3-6 score, but rebounded to take the second set (6-4) and a tiebreaker for the third set (10-5) for the win. In the #3 match, Botjer had little trouble with Long, losing just one game on her way to a 6-0, 6-1 win. The #4 contest pitted Georgetown?s Marshall against Dumansky. Marshall battled in the first set, winning 7-5, and succeeded in the second set, winning 6-3 and gaining the victory. Snow trounced Pignatelli in the #5 match (6-1, 6-0), and Sutton defeated Safoura Mostowfi in the #6 contest (6-3, 6-1).
The Hoyas will return to action on Saturday, October 27 when they travel to Philadelphia, Pa. to compete in the ITA Eastern Championships at the University of Pennsylvania. The event will span four days, October 27-30.
