BROOKVILLE, N.Y. - The Daemen College women's tennis team dropped a 6-3 match to East Coast Conference (ECC) opponent Long Island University Post this afternoon. With the loss, Daemen falls to 0-2 (0-2 ECC) on the season while the Pioneers picked up their second win of the season (2-0 overall, 2-0 ECC).

"We competed really hard today against an improved LIU Post team," said head coach Stephen Beatty. "We played really tough in the singles action and are improving with every match.  I'm super proud of Sarah Crissy who won her first collegiate singles match. She played so well and has improved so much so far this season."

Freshman, Sarsh Crissy (Tonawanda, N.Y./Kenmore East) was the lone Wildcat to break through in singles action, winning her No. 5 singles matchup against the Pioneers' Megan Byrne, 7-6, 6-2.  It was Crissy's first win of her collegiate career season in singles competition, though in a losing effort overall for Daemen.
 
The Wildcats also received wins in both No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles by default.

Daemen looks to get their first win of the season with a non-conference road match tomorrow (Sept. 7) against Goldey-Beacom College at 11 a.m.
