Women's Tennis Blanks Trinity, Advances to Saturday's NESCAC Semifinals

AMHERST, Mass. - A sweep in doubles play propelled third-seeded Bowdoin to a sweep of sixth-seeded Trinity, 5-0, in the opening round of the 2013 NESCAC Women's Tennis Championship Friday, hosted by Amherst College.

With the win, fifth-ranked Bowdoin (14-3) advances to tomorrow's semifinal where they square off with second-seeded (and national #3) Williams at 1:00 p.m.


Holding their own at the top of the doubles order, Bowdoin's Emma Chow and Tiffany Cheng dispatched Melita Ferjanic and Hillary Hoyt, 8-1. Kellen Alberstone and Chantalle Lavertu then earned an 8-4 #2 doubles decision over Senzosihle Mauve-Maphrisa and Morgan Feldman before Kate Winingham and Emma Lewis completed the doubles sweep with an 8-2 triumph over Regan Cherna '14 and Elizabeth Gerber '14.

Chow inched the Polar Bears closer to the victory with a 6-4, 6-0 victory at #6 singles before Winingham closed out the Bantams with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Cherna in the #4 slot.

Saturday's match against the Ephs will be a rematch of a match played one month ago in Williamstown. Williams pulled out a 6-3 decision over the Polar Bears on April 5.
