WASHINGTON, DC - George Washington women's tennis (2-3) was victorious in their match against Georgetown University (1-8) early Friday morning at the East Potomac Tennis Center, winning by a final score of 4-3.

Playing from the No. 4 seed, junior Tracy Stecko (4-5) defeated Adriann Gin in three sets, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. Also winning in three sets was freshman Verena Knoedler (4-5), who upended Eileen Boyle 6-4, 2-6, 6-0. Fellow freshman Rachael Hesling (5-3) earned the final point for GW, winning her match 6-4, 6-1 over Shelley Murveit.
