Women's Tennis Downs Maryland-Baltimore County, 4-3

Colonials win four-of-six singles matches to earn first victory

Feb. 5, 2006

MONTCLAIR, VA - The George Washington University women's tennis team knocked off Maryland-Baltimore County, 4-3, Saturday afternoon in non-conference action at the Montclair Country Club. The Colonials dropped the doubles point, but rallied in singles play winning at the first through fourth positions to secure their first victory of the 2006 season.

In singles play, senior Anastasia Skavronskaia (Miami, FL), sophomores Kendall Swenson (Shaker Heights, OH) and Tracy Stecko (Lake Forest, IL), and freshman Madhuri Jha (Oak Brook, IL) each won their respective matches in straight sets. The victories marked the first dual-match singles wins for each individual.

Jha also teamed with junior Mara Frisch (Tucson, AZ) at No. 2 doubles to register the Colonials' lone victory, an 8-5 triumph over Joy Adewuni and Joanna Woo.

The Colonials (1-1) are back on the courts when they host Towson on Friday, Feb. 10, at 1 p.m. at Montclair Country Club.
