WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. -- Graduate student Christina Stasiuk (Bowmansville, N.Y.) earned wins in both singles and doubles play, but it wasn't enough to lift the Daemen College women's tennis team which dropped its spring season opener to the Edinboro Fighting Scots by a 5-2 final score this afternoon.

NOTES
  • Today's match was the first of seven on Daemen's spring schedule. The Wildcats had been idle since suffering a 4-0 loss to top-seeded District of Columbia in the semifinal round of the East Coast Conference Championship tournament back on October 29. 
  • Daemen dropped to 1-7 all-time against the Fighting Scots. The three previous meetings had been decided by a single point. 
  • Rubio and Scime teamed together for the first time atop the Wildcats' doubles lineup. Their win gives Rubio a team-leading 13 victories (combined singles/doubles) this season. It also marked her 26th career win, moving her into sole possession of ninth place in program history.
  • Stasiuk now has 11 wins this season and 78 in her career (combined singles/doubles). She ranks third in program history and is just six shy of tying Gretchen Ringler for second. Stasiuk's singles win was the 44th of her career, passing Ringler for second in program history.

Daemen returns to action Friday, March 9 when hosting Division I Niagara for a 9 p.m. match at Miller Tennis Center. It marks the final home match of the Wildcats' 2021-22 season.
