Tennis blanked by Colby Sawyer in NAC opener

North Adams, MA- The visiting Colby Sawyer women's tennis team blanked the MCLA Trailblazers 9-0 this afternoon in the NAC opener for both teams this afternoon.  The Chargers improve to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the conference while MCLA drops to 0-2 and is 0-1 in league play.

The Chargers wasted little time taking control of this matchup.  They swept through the doubles action without dropping a single game.  Their top duo of Ashley Woodside and Yashu Yang won 8-0 over MCLA's Mariza Sfakianaki and Sam Gawron.  CSC's Evelyn Miller and Aislinn O'Connor did the same to Brianna Higgins and Ashley Juskhas.  In the third slot, Alexa Conlin and Michelle Lopes defeated Lauren Kexel and Katherine Grill 8-0.

The same pattern formed in singles play.  Woodside blanked Sfakianaki while Yang did the same to Gawron.  Maddy Gemerek and Lauren Blanchard came off the bench to earn singles points, as did Christine Hill and Hilary Boucher.  All of those matches were in straight sets.

Colby Sawyer will challenge Johnson State on Tuesday while MCLA battles Lyndon State on Wednesday.
