WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary’s women’s tennis team, ranked 28th in the nation, swept all six singles and three doubles matches today to defeat West Virginia, 7-0, at the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center.

The win improves the College’s record to 3-0, while the Mountaineers fall to 1-1.

First off the court in doubles was the Tribe’s duo of senior Amy Wei (Marietta, GA) and junior Megan Muth (Covington, LA), ranked 10th in the nation, with an 8-2 win over Stacey Percival and Raynie Theis. Tribe seniors Kate Boomershine (Glenwood, MD) and Candice Fuchs (Sarasota, FL) clinched the point with an 8-0 win at No. 2 over Natalia Prinz/Kelly Walsh, and they were soon followed by the College’s team of junior Lingda Yang (Coconut Creek, FL) and freshman Megan Moulton-Levy (Monroe, MI), who finished with an 8-1 win at No. 3 over Kathryn Gerber and Monica Lyskawa.

The Tribe continued to dominate in singles, dropping just three games in the top three matches to clinch the victory for the Green and Gold. Moulton-Levy, ranked 33rd in the country, started with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 2 over Walsh, while Muth, ranked 36th in the nation, put W&M one point from victory with a 6-0, 6-1 win at the top spot over Prinz.
