Women's tennis blows away Villanova

Women’s tennis blows away Villanova

By: Taylor Massey, QBSN Staff Writer

The cold wind that blew in this week took the Villanova women’s tennis team right along with it. Quinnipiac (4-6) took the Villanova Wildcats (2-8) in a non-conference match with a score of 6-1.

The Bobcats swept the doubles series to earn the first point of the day. Rachel Cantor (Short Hills, N.J.) and Sarah Viebrock (Carmel, N.Y.) defeated Mikelle Mancini and Sydney West to move to 7-0 in doubles this season.

Michelle Dassa (Marlboro, N.J.), Jacqueline Raynor (Garden City, N.Y.), Ariana Launie (Milton, Mass.) and Lavinia Cristescu (West Hartford, Conn.) all contributed to the doubles sweep.

           

The single Wildcat win came from the hand of Sydney West. West overtook Viebrock in a tie breaking set with scores of 6-2, 5-7 and 13-11. Cantor also had a close match, but came away with the win over Mikele Mancini, 4-6, 6-3 and 10-8.

           

When the day was done the Bobcat’s triumphed over the Wildcats with five singles wins and a point from the doubles sweep. Quinnipiac travels to Yale tomorrow to take on the Bulldogs. The first serve is set for 5 p.m.
