ELMIRA, NY - The Elmira College Women’s Tennis team
suffered their third conference loss of the season this afternoon,
falling to the Cardinals of St. John Fisher College by a score of
7-2.
In doubles action, the Soaring Eagles pushed the Cardinals and came out with one point from play. Earning the teams lone doubles point in a crucial tiebreaker were the tandem of Kim Kellet ’09 (Binghamton, NY -- Chenango Valley), and Emily Talbot ’09 (Cazenovia, NY -- Cazenovia) won their decision by a score of 9-8.
In singles play, the enthusiasm and tenacity shown in their earlier doubles matches was carried over into their single matches. Unfortunately, the depth of the Cardinal’s line up proved to be too much. At the No. 4 spot Torrie Robinson-Neff '10 (Gloucester, MA -- Gloucester), continued her winning ways by capturing her team leading third conference singles match in a row earning the teams lone singles point in a three sets victory, 4-6, 6-3, 10-7. In at the No. 5 position, Dani Oaxaca ’09 (Rancho Cucamonga, CA -- Rancho Cucamonga), was defeated in a tough three set battle, 6-3, 0-6, 6-10.
As a whole the team came into today’s match with the focus and determination to rise to the top ranks of the Empire 8. The team should confidence and through out the match against a quality opponent.
