ANDERSON - With a dominant outing in singles action, the Newberry women's tennis team earned a decisive 7-2 victory over the Anderson Trojans on Saturday at the Max Grubbs Memorial Courts.

Newberry (3-2, 1-0 SAC) held a 2-1 advantage over the No. 10 team in the Southeast Region after doubles play as Anderson (0-1, 0-1 SAC) was only able to pull out one victory in doubles play.

No. 2 doubles saw Newberry senior Marina Ziehe (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and sophomore Vanessa Ortiz (Cochabamba, Bolivia) pick up a tight 8-5 victory over Lindsay Gregory and Rebecca Bruning, while sophomore Tara Lamers (Maastricht, The Netherlands) and senior Ariel Strong (Cassatt, S.C.) knocked off Alexandra Ebner and Nikkola Wichenko 8-4 at No. 3 doubles.

Singles play saw Newberry drop only one match, as the Wolves earned two victories in straight sets, before picking up a trio of wins in three sets.

No. 1 singles saw senior Susana Aguirre (Guayaquil, Ecuador) notch her third straight singles win over Anderson's Avery Owens. Ortiz won a pair of set tiebreakers to top Karen Ching in two sets at No. 2 singles.

No. 4 singles went to three sets, as Lamers defeated Gregory after falling behind a set early in her conference opener.

Strong and Ziehe also needed to come back from a set down to earn three set wins at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, respectively.

The Trojans had won four straight matches against Newberry before this afternoon's Wolves' victory.
