MARS HILL N.C. - The No. 19 Newberry College women's tennis team (21-3, 8-3 SAC) secured a strong 6-1 win on the road at Mars Hill on Monday to tie the program record for wins in a season at 21.

The Wolves were able to strike first in doubles play as Lucy Spice (Maidstone, U.K.) and Ish Singh (Gurugram, India) came away with a 6-2 victory at the No. 3 doubles position, but the Lions answered by taking a hard-fought match at No. 2 doubles. With the doubles point on the line, Zulay Castaneda (Panama City, Panama) and Nastassia Chamoun (Rouen, France) locked in and took care of business with a 6-3 win to secure the doubles point and the early lead.

Amy Griffiths (Liverpool, England) was then able to extend the lead with a 6-2 6-3 win at No. 3 singles, and Rosie Harfield (Lee-on-Solent, England) came out of a very competitive second set on top for a 6-3 7-6 victory at the No. 5 singles position to put the Wolves one win away from clinching the match. Castaneda would then shake off dropping her first set to win her match at the top singles position by a score of 4-6 6-1 6-4 to secure the match overall. Chamoun did not take long to keep the momentum going with a 6-0 6-4 victory in the No. 2 singles match, demonstrating why she was named the South Atlantic Conference AstroTurf Women's Tennis Player of the Week earlier that morning. The remaining matches would be played as eight-game pro sets in lieu of full matches due to the match already being clinched overall. The Wolves and Lions would then split the pro sets as Newberry finished with a 6-1 victory to tie the program record for wins in a season.

The Wolves return to action on Friday, April 15 when they host the Railsplitters of Lincoln Memorial for Senior Day with the first serve scheduled for 2 p.m.
