Back in the win column after sweep of Trinity
CLAREMONT, Calif. – Less than a week after losing its first match of the season (5-4 to No. 2 Emory), the No. 5 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's tennis team returned to the win column with a decisive 9-0 sweep of No. 21 Trinity (Conn.) on March 19 at the Biszantz Family Tennis Center. CMS is now 9-1 on the season and the team has registered three sweeps in those nine wins.
Doubles play finished in reverse order. Freshmen Bria Smith (CMC) and Lindsay Brown (CMC) swept Emily Curtis and Sara Curtis 8-0 in No. 3 doubles for the first point of the match for the Athenas. Senior Sarah Kukino (CMC) and freshman Kyla Scott (HMC) won their match 8-3. The closest doubles match came at No. 1 doubles as junior Caroline Ward (CMC) and sophomore Katie Kuosman (CMC) teamed up to defeat Trinity's Morgan Feldman and Melita Ferjanic 8-5 which gave CMS a 3-0 lead after doubles.
Ward, ranked 17th in singles, and Ferjanic, ranked 26th in singles faced off in the closest singles match. Ward held off Ferjanic 7-5, 5-7 (10-6) for the No. 1 singles win. A full three sets were not played because CMS already had the match in hand with an 8-0 lead at the time.
40th ranked Kuosman (6-1, 6-3), Kukino (6-4, 6-1), Brown (6-0, 6-0), Smith (6-0, 6-1) and freshman Lauren Livingston (6-1, 6-2) all took care of business in their respective matches in the second through sixth positions. Singles order of finish was as follows: 4,5,2,3,6,1
CMS has a busy weekend ahead with matches against No. 17 Tufts (March 20 – 1 p.m.) and No. 10 Middlebury (March 21 – 2 p.m.), all at the Biszantz Family Tennis Center.
