ERIE, Pa. – In their first match of the spring season, the Allegheny women's tennis team picked up a huge non-conference win over Penn State Behrend, 9-0, on Saturday afternoon at the Westwood Racquet Club in Erie, Pa. For the Gators (4-3), it is their second consecutive dual match, dating back to the fall season, in which they earned a clean sweep of their opponent.

The win over the Lions could very well be a catalyst of success for the Gators moving forward in the spring. The Lions are the defending Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) champions for the past six years, and last year, they received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament

All six singles matches were won by straight sets by the Gators. Rookie Laura Steele made her collegiate debut in a dual match format. She picked up a straight sets win in flight six, 6-0, 6-2.
