Women's Tennis Wins Seventh Dual Match Of Fall Season

BOX SCORE

MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - The Daemen College women's tennis team earned an 8-1 victory in non-conference action against dual-match host Millersville University at the McComsey Tennis Courts today. 

The win pushes Daemen's overall record to 7-6 this season, marking the first time in team history that the Wildcats have achieved seven wins during the fall season. Daemen, which is coming off a program-record nine-win season in 2016-17, competes during both the fall and spring semesters. The Wildcats have now won four of their last six matches dating back to Sept. 30.

Today's match was the first ever between Daemen and Millersville, an affiliate of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. The Marauders dropped to 0-5 this season. with the loss.

The Wildcats started strong with a 3-0 sweep of doubles action, led at the top of the lineup by freshman Lorissa Yuen (Portland, Ore.) and junior Jessica Robins (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) who downed MU's Corinne Grohoski and Megan Rovenolt 8-4. It was the first time this season that Yuen and Robins had been paired together for doubles play by fifth-year head coach Stephen Beatty.

In second doubles, it was another first-time pairing picking up a point as freshman Giovanna Paschaolin (Sao Caetano Do Sul, Brazil) and senior Gretchen Ringler (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) scored an 8-1 victory over Haley Nauman and Kelley Hershey. Freshman Christina Stasiuk (Bowmansville, N.Y.) teamed with junior Morgan Park (Hamburg, N.Y.) to complete the doubles sweep for Daemen as the pair knocked off Victoria Hanus and Lauren Weaver, also by an 8-1 score, in third doubles.

In singles action, Yuen, Pachoalin, Stasiuk, Ringler and Robins all made it a two-point day for themselves, personally.

Yuen and Paschoalin won in the No. 1 and 2 singles spots, respectively, without dropping a set. Yuen downed Grohoski (6-0, 6-0) for her 10th singles win of the season, becoming just the fourth player in team history to reach that total during her freshman campaign. Paschoalin isn't far behind; she ousted Rovenolt (6-0, 6-0) to improve to 9-7 in singles play this season.

In third singles, Stasiuk earned her team-leading 11th singles win of the season with a straight-sets defeat (6-1, 6-0) of Nauman. She's now just two singles wins shy of matching Ringler's program record for freshmen, and three wins shy of Hayle Scanlan's program record for singles wins by any team member in a single season. Scanlan's mark of 14 singles wins was set in her final collegiate season (2016-17).

Speaking of Ringler, she picked up the 38th singles win of her career (second all-time at Daemen) with a 6-1, 6-1 effort in fourth singles to defeat Hanus. The team's lone senior sits at 8-6 overall in singles play this season.

Robins moved to 8-7 in singles play this year with her 6-1, 6-0 defeat of Weaver in fifth singles. It was the 28th singles win of Robins' career as she leapfrogs both Karli Hollins and Shaylah Iverson to move into third place for career singles wins in team history.

Daemen returns to East Coast Conference action this weekend, playing their first ECC road match since mid-September when visiting St. Thomas Aquinas College this Saturday, Oct. 14.
