SALISBURY, N.C. - The No. 19 Newberry College women's tennis team (20-3, 7-3 SAC) were able to pick up a 5-2 South Atlantic Conference victory on the road at Catawba to secure the second 20-win season in program history on Saturday.
The Wolves hit the ground running in doubles as Ish Singh (Gurugram, India) and Lucy Spice (Maidstone, U.K.) wasted no time earning a 6-2 win at No. 3 doubles. Nastassia Chamoun (Rouen, France) and Zulay Castaneda (Panama City, Panama) were not far behind, securing a 6-2 victory of their own at the top doubles position. Amy Griffiths (Liverpool, England) and Rosie Harfield (Lee-on-Solent, England) would then take care of business with a 6-3 win at No. 2 doubles to complete the sweep of doubles play.Â
Chamoun was able to start singles play by securing a 6-2 6-1 victory in the No. 2 singles match, and Singh was able to keep the momentum going with a 6-3 6-3 win at the No. 4 singles position. Castaneda would then use a dominant first set to take the top singles position by a score of 6-0 6-3, securing the match overall. With the match in hand, Griffiths was also awarded with a victory by default after her opponent retired in the second set. Catawba was able to take the No. 5 and No. 6 singles matches late, but it would be too little too late as the Wolves secured their second 20-win campaign in program history.
The Wolves return to action on Monday, April 11 when they travel to take on Mars Hill with the first serve scheduled for 2 p.m.
