W&M Women’s Tennis Blanks Richmond, 7-0

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary’s women’s tennis team completed the sweep on its first day of the spring season, as the eighth-ranked Tribe shut out Richmond, 7-0, this afternoon at the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center. Earlier today, W&M opened the year with a 7-0 win over George Washington. The match was the first of the season for the Spiders.

The contest began with the Tribe taking all three doubles matches for an early 1-0 lead. At the top match, W&M’s 11th ranked team of junior Amy Wei (Marietta, GA) and sophomore Megan Muth (Covington, LA) defeated Beatrice Grasu/Meghan Wolfgram, 8-1. On court two, the Tribe’s 27th ranked team of juniors Kate Boomershine (Glenwood, MD) and Candice Fuchs (Sarasota, FL) won, 8-3, over Lindsay Cox and Patty Devlin. Junior Lena Sherbakov (Mountain View, CA) and freshman Emily Mowery (Bradenton, FL) defeated Robin Carter and Courtney Klein, 8-4, at No. 3.

W&M continued to play well in singles, winning all six matches, including three in straight sets. At No. 1, Fuchs, ranked No. 57, defeated Grasu, 6-2, 6-2, while 76th ranked Muth won at No. 2 over Wolfgram, 6-0, 6-1. Sherbakov defeated Cox, 6-0, 6-2, on court three, while Wei needed a third-set super tiebreaker to take down Carter at No. 4, 6-4, 4-6, 1-0 (10-8). Boomershine defeated Emily Applegate, 6-4, 6-1, at No. 5, while sophomore Lingda Yang (Coconut Creek, FL) completed the shutout with a 7-5, 6-2 win at No. 6.

The competition heats up for the Tribe next weekend, as the College will host two of the top teams in the nation at the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center. Saturday, January 24 at 1:00 PM the Tribe will take on No. 27 Texas, before hosting 14th ranked Northwestern Sunday at 11:00 AM.
