SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Six different players contributed to at least one win in a total team effort as the #50 Union College women's tennis team remained unbeaten in Liberty League play with a 6-3 victory over William Smith College on Sunday afternoon at Sportime Tennis Club.
 
Union (8-3, 3-0 Liberty League) won five of six singles matches to pull out the come-from-behind victory, the team's third straight in conference play and seventh in the last eight matches overall. The lone dual winner on the day for Union was first-year Luisa Arizpe-Sierra, who won at second doubles and third singles.
 
Despite dropping two of the three doubles matches, Arizpe-Sierra and sophomore Kennedy Alexis picked up a huge point at second doubles to give the home team some momentum headed into singles play. The Union pair faced deficits of 4-0 and 6-2 in their match against Julia Pida and Natalie Haythorn, but the tandem stormed back to win six straight games to pull out an 8-6 victory.
 
Sophomore Claire Langille started off singles play on the right foot for Union, winning the final five games of the first set and then the first five of the second in a 6-2, 6-1 win over Grace Magna at the sixth flight. Classmate Skylar Semon then gave the home team its first lead of the day with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Mae Kellersman at fourth singles, extending her singles winning streak to nine matches in the process.
 
Fellow sophomore Chara Meidani posted her eighth-straight singles win with a comeback victory at the second flight to move Union one point away from victory, registering a pair of 6-3 sets over Isabelle Goings-Perrot after dropping the first by a 6-4 margin, before William Smith (4-9, 0-4 Liberty League) stayed alive with a three-set win at fifth singles.
 
With Union needing one win in the final two matches, senior Gracie Nicol took care of business at the top flight, winning the final four games of the third set to grind out a 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-2 win over Haley Levine. Arizpe-Sierra put a cap on the afternoon by outlasting Haythorn in a nearly three-hour third-singles marathon, 6-2, 6-7 (6-8), 7-6 (7-1).
 
The Garnet Chargers return home on Friday for a big Liberty League match against St. Lawrence University beginning at 2:30 p.m. at the Union Tennis Courts.
