WAYNESBURG, Pa. -- For the second time in as many days, the Allegheny College women's tennis team blanked a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) foe, this time defeating Waynesburg University by a 7-0 final score on Thursday afternoon.

After dropping only five games on Wednesday against Thiel College, the Gators (6-1, 3-0 PAC) were even better against the Yellow Jackets (0-4, 0-3 PAC). Allegheny lost only four games, no more than one in any set, resulting in five shutout wins.

With the victory over Waynesburg, the Gators have now won 19 consecutive regular-season PAC matches since joining the conference ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. It's also the fourth match of the young season to end in a 7-0 score in favor of the Blue and Gold.

Teammates in the top doubles spot, Julia Müsseler (Munich, Germany/Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium) and Evie Ellenberger (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper Saint Clair) did not surrender a game while defeating Waynesburg's No. 1 duo of Julia Luzar and Julia Umshares. Müsseler and Ellenberger then played atop the singles lineup, with the former beating Luzar, 6-0, 6-0, and the latter taking down Umshares, 6-0, 6-1.

Junior Maria Lounder (Pittsburgh, Pa./Moon Area) was the only Gator to play both singles and doubles. Lounder was a 6-1 winner in her No. 3 doubles match alongside Omega Ba (Orlando, Fla./Edgewater) and then cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 triumph in the fourth singles slot.
