SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – The Union College women's tennis team returned from Spring Break and returned to the win column on Thursday afternoon, sweeping SUNY Oneonta by a 7-0 score in non-conference action at the Union Tennis Courts.
Four players earned a pair of wins and all eight players had at least one win for Union (7-3), which dropped only five doubles games and six singles games combined in the tidy sweep.
Starting out on the doubles courts, senior
Paige Tromblee and
Calista Finkelstein earned their first win of the day with a 6-2 victory over Kelly Hayes and Jaila Kinningbeck at the third flight. Junior
Kennedy Alexis and first-year
Samantha Jacobs also began their two-win day by defeating Danielle Copp and Annika Cripe by the same score at second doubles. Juniors
Claire Langille and
Chara Meidani finished their abbreviated afternoon with a quick 6-1 first-doubles win over Haley Peck and Taylor Plue.
Moving to singles play, Finkelstein needed less than 25 minutes to roll past Plue in a 6-0, 6-0 third-singles victory, followed soon after by Jacobs' 6-0, 6-1 second-singles win over Copp. Alexis joined Finkelstein in the double-bagel club with a 12-game win over Cripe at the fourth flight to clinch the victory for the Garnet Chargers, while junior
Skylar Semon moved up to the top flight to defeat Peck with a pair of 6-1 sets in her only match of the day.
First-year
Scarlet Carrara remained unbeaten in dual-match play with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Kinningbeck in sixth-singles action, and Tromblee finished up her and the team's perfect afternoon by defeating Hayes, 6-2, 6-0, at the fifth flight.
Union will return to the courts this weekend for a pair of key Liberty League road matches, beginning on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Ithaca College.
