Women's Tennis Falls 6-3 at Newbury

Box Score

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Mitchell College women's tennis team dropped a 6-3 decision to Newbury College on Saturday afternoon in a match played at Pine Manor College.

The Nighthawks decidedly swept doubles play by scores of 8-4, 8-2 and 8-0 as the much improved Newbury team carried the play early in the event. It was a little different in singles play, as the scrappy Mariners played well to take three out of the six matches for the final tally.

Mitchell enjoyed fine play from freshmen Julie Felts, Erica Fazio and Carly Crozer. Felts defeated Jillian Wojtowicz in straight sets by finals of 6-2, 6-3 at the top singles spot. Fazio took her first set but then fell behind in the second; however, she rallied back to win the final four games and pulled out a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Kristen Conners. Crozer and Jennifer Swafford split the first two sets at No. 5 singles, and the two played a tiebreaker in lieu of a third set. Crozer won the tiebreaker 10-5 to earn the point.

Mitchell returns to action at Becker College on Tuesday, October 13 at 3 p.m.
