GREENSBURG, Pa. -- The Allegheny College women's tennis team wrapped up its busy weekend with a shutout victory over Saint Vincent College on Sunday morning at the Greensburg Racquet Club.
The Gators (8-1, 7-0 PAC), who sit atop the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) standings with one conference match remaining, extended their regular-season PAC win streak to 39 consecutive matches with a near flawless performance. Despite playing without several starters, the Blue & Gold held Saint Vincent (0-9, 0-6 PAC) scoreless in seven matches and only lost three total games. With the win, Allegheny secured the top seed in the upcoming PAC Championship Tournament for a fifth consecutive season.
Two-thirds of the lineup against the Bearcats was made up of first-years.
Chanel Brun (Aix-en-Provence, France/Fox Chapel (Pa.)) and
Claire Terefe (Dallas, Texas/Texas Online Preparatory School) were partners in the top doubles contest, then played No. 1 and No. 2 singles. Brun and Terefe both outscored their opponents, 18-0.
Karlie Nicolae (Medina, Ohio/Archbishop Hoban) and
Magnolia Pitts (Lockhart, Texas/Lockhart) also stepped into the doubles lineup, while
Jade Flores (Lancaster, Pa./Conestoga Valley) and
Alyson Brokaw (Butler, Ohio/Clear Fork) blanked their singles opponents.
