LEWISTON, Me. -- The #17 nationally ranked Tufts University
women's tennis team defeated Bates College 9-0 on Saturday, dealing
the host Bobcats their first NESCAC conference defeat. The win was
the second shutout of the day for Coach Kate Bayard's Jumbos,
following an earlier 9-0 victory at Colby. The Jumbos raised their
record to 5-3 overall and 2-0 in NESCAC play, while the Bobcats
dropped to 6-2 overall, 1-1 in the NESCAC.
Tufts sailed through doubles, losing a total of just four games
in the three matches. The first year tandem of Lindsay Katz
(Owings Mills, MD) and Janice Lam (San Francisco,
CA) won 8-0 in the #2 match.
Likewise, singles play was a breeze for Tufts. Junior
tri-captain Julia Browne (Old Brookville, NY) was
perfect in the #1 match, winning by a pair of 6-0 scores. Katz and
first year Lauren Hollender (Newton, MA) both gave
up just one game in the third and sixth matches, respectively.
Sophomore Jennifer LaCara (Huntington Station, NY)
lost only four games in her #5 victory.
Tufts continues on the road in conference play when they travel to
Wesleyan on Wednesday. Bates plays at Bowdoin that day.
