WATERVILLE, ME. – The Williams
women's tennis team always uses a complete team effort in all
their matches with contributions from on and off the courts, but
this afternoon a season-high eight of the nine Ephs on the
women's roster were able to play on the courts in a 9-0 win
over conference opponent Colby (8-7, 3-5).
“It was a fun day,” said Williams head coach Alison
Swain. “Almost every person got to play in the lineup
which is always a treat, and we all really enjoyed the day.”
The Ephs mixed up the doubles pairs quite a bit, but were
incredibly successful. At courts one and three, Williams blew
by their Colby competition with 8-0 wins. Taylor French and
Veranika Li closed out the sweep with an 8-6 win at court two.
Kristin Alotta moved up one spot from her traditional place in
the singles lineup, and posted a 6-1, 6-1 win at court one.
Nancy Worley and Caroline Capute gave up just one game in their
6-1, 6-0 wins at courts two and three, respectively. Parsons
took a straight set win at court four as well.
Closing out the singles lineup, Katie Freidman and Veranika Li
made their first appearances of the season. Freidman won in
her first set in dominating fashion at 6-0, and closed out the win
in a 6-2 final set. Li won in quick straight sets at court
six.
Williams will return home for their final three matches of the
regular season. They have a busy Saturday ahead, hosting both
Hamilton and Trinity. The Hamilton match is set for 9:00
a.m., and the Trinity match is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
