Over the past week, the Bates' women's tennis team has succeeded in amazing
victories and trudged through one unfortunate loss, leaving them with a 5-2
record. With a 6-3 win over Connecticut College on Oct. 4, the team's 2-7loss
from last year was finally avenged. Number one singles player, Jenn Russo '01,
led the team with a 1-6,6-2,7-6 victory. Number two singles player, Suzanne
Daly '01, followed up with a 7-5,6-3 win. Other winners were Janice Michaels
'00, ranked number three, who defeated Connecticut College with a score of 7
5,6- 4,and Natalie Herald '99, number four, with a 6-1,6-1 score. The number
one doubles team, Russo and Daly, and the number two team, Michaels and
Shearer, both defeated Connecticut with 8-2 victories. Their second win, over
Plymouth State College, on Oct. 5 had an incredible score of 9-0 without a
single loss on the team. Some highlights were Russo's 6-0, 6-0 victory which
brought her to a 5-1 season record and the doubles teams of Michaels and
Shearer, 8-2 win leaving them undefeated so far. And, although their third
match was a 0-9 loss against Bowdoin, all players are anxiously awaiting
matches to come. They look forward to playing Salve-Regina at home this Sunday
at 1 PM and competing in the New England Championships which will be held at
Amherst College on Oct. 23-26.
