Women’s Tennis Finishes Road Stint with 8-1 Victory against Sewanee

The Emory University women's tennis team saw another spring victory on Saturday afternoon after defeating the Sewanee Tigers 8-1 in Sewanee, Tennessee.

The Eagles improve to 2-1 on the season after sweeping the SCAD Atlanta Bees in the spring season opener earlier in February.

The Tigers saw their lone point of the match in the first doubles competition of the day. Junior Eliza McPherron and sophomore Iris Berman continue being an unstoppable duo taking their doubles match on court two with an 8-5 decision followed by an 8-3 victory on court three from junior Izzy Antanavicius and freshman Yanire Marte.

Sophomore Emily Kantrovitz got things started in singles on court one taking her match with a 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 decision. Her doubles partner Ana Cristina Perez was right beside her on court two winning her match with a straight set, 6-4, 6-4 victory.

Antanavicius saw a 6-4, 6-1 straight set win in her favor on court three while Berman took a 6-3, 4-6, 10-5 victory on the fourth court. McPherron posted yet another straight set decision for the Eagles on court five with a 6-2, 6-3 win and sophomore Alessia Martinez ended the day for Emory with a 6-1, 6-2 decision on court six.

The Eagles will look to the ITA Indoor Championships starting on Friday, March 1 where they will face Johns Hopkins in the opening round at 9:00 AM.
