W&M Wins 10th Straight, Sweeping No. 46 Denver

Denver, Colo. - The No. 9 William and Mary women’s tennis team rolled to its 10th straight victory to open the 2007 season, sweeping No. 46 Denver, 7-0, on March 11. The College opened a three-match Spring Break road swing in Colorado with the victory. It marked the seventh ranked foe the College has defeated this season.

The College cruised to a trio of wins in doubles to clinch the opening point of the match. The Tribe’s top-ranked duo of senior Megan Moulton-Levy and sophomore Katarina Zoricic downed Ute Schnoy and Rachel Sackmaster at the No. 1 slot, 8-2. The College’s freshman tandem of Magdalena Bresson and Ragini Acharya cruised past Kyla Iwinski and Julia Bauregger, 8-3, at the No. 2 position. The sophomore pair of Barbara Zidek and Klaudyna Kasztelaniec rounded out the College’s sweep with an 8-2 victory over Lorinda Boothman and Annette Aksdal at the No. 3 position.

Zoricic notched the first victory over her W&M career at the No. 1 singles position. The 72nd-ranked player nationally defeated Denver’s No. 124 ranked Aksdal, 6-0, 6-3. Freshman Lauren Sabacinski and Zidek claimed straight-set victories at the No. 5 and No. 6 to ice the Tribe team victory. Sabacinski cruised past Iwinski, 6-3, 6-2, at the No. 5 slot, while Zidek won by an identical score over Boothman at the No. 6 position.

Fresh off her first collegiate ranking, Acharya won her second match over a ranked foe this season, claiming a three-set affair over No. 90 Schnoy. After dropping the first set, 6-0, the No. 96-ranked player nationally claimed the next two sets, 6-2, 6-1, for her 14th straight win.

Kasztelaniec and Bresson both claimed three-set, come-from-behind wins at the No. 3 and No. 4 slots, respectively. Kasztelaniec, who returned to the Tribe line-up for the first time in over a month, dropped the first set, 6-2, to Bauregger, before evening the contest with a 6-4 win in the second. She claimed the match with the third-set super tiebreaker win, 11-9. Bresson dropped the first set, 7-5, but rebounded to take the second and third sets, 6-1, 6-1, over Sackmaster.

The Tribe will return to action against Air Force on Monday, March 12, at 5 p.m. The College will close the trip at No. 30 Colorado on Wednesday, March 14. The match with the Buffaloes is slated for 4 p.m. in Boulder.
