Lady Mavericks Defeat D'Youville in Regular Season Finale

WILLIAMSVILLE, NY – The Medaille College Women's Tennis team hosted their final regular season match of the season on Tuesday afternoon, taking on the Spartans of D'Youville College in a non-conference match-up. Just hours after finding out that they had secured a berth in their first ever AMCC postseason, the Lady Mavericks used the match as a tune up, defeating D'Youville (8-1).

Medaille took control from the start, only dropping (2) games to the Spartans in doubles competition. The number one pairing of junior Liz Barrett (Sanborn, NY, Niagara-Wheatfield) and freshman Colleen Voigt (Marion, NY, Marion) beat Courtney Fox and Krista Cornell (8-1), while the number three pairing of senior Kyla Krathaus (Lancaster, NY, Lancaster) and sophomore Cho Thiri Tun (Mae Sot, Thailand, Riverside) did the same. Sophomore Samantha Dworzanski (North Tonawanda, NY, Niagara Wheatfield) and senior Emily Insinna (Alden, NY, Alden) shut out Natalie Douie and Nicole Giliforte (8-0) to give the Lady Mavs a (3-0) lead heading into singles play.

Lead by Barrett and a (6-0, 6-0) victory over Fox, Medaille went on to take five of the six singles matches as well.

The win was the Lady Mavs' second over D'Youville this season, and gave them (6) overall wins on the season. Those six wins are the most in a single season in program history; to go along with their program best (4) AMCC wins.

Medaille will be back on the court this Saturday, when they travel to Franciscan University for the first round of the AMCC Tournament. The Lady mavericks will start their first AMCC Tournament match at 2:00pm.
