RICHMOND, VA - William and Mary’s ninth-ranked women’s tennis team lost to No. 13 Virginia Commonwealth, 4-3, today in the Colonial Athletic Association championship. The loss drops the Tribe’s record to 23-5, while the Rams improve to 23-0 with the win.

W&M opened the match by winning the doubles point with victories in both completed matches. At No. 1, sophomores Kate Boomershine (Glenwood, MD) and Candice Fuchs (Sarasota, FL) ranked 12th in the nation defeated VCU’s 18th-ranked team of Silvia Urickova/Barbora Zahnova, 8-5. Seniors Nina Kamp (Pine Brook, NJ) and Kari Olsen (San Diego, CA) came from behind to win at No. 3, defeating Cristina Gago/Ana Franco-Lopez, 9-7.

The Tribe posted straight-set singles wins at the five and six positions. Kamp defeated Franco-Lopez, 6-4, 6-4 at No. 5, and sophomore Lena Sherbakov (Mountain View, CA) defeated Gago, 6-4, 6-4, on court six.
