The Cabrini women’s tennis team improved to 9-0 in the CSAC and 12-4 overall after topping Cedar Crest College in both singles and doubles play on Monday, Oct. 13.
The weather for the matches was not too promising; four out of the nine matches were not completed due to rain.
The Cavaliers started off the afternoon with doubles play. Juniors Terra McHenry and Tori Yeich won their match 8-2, which improved their record to 8-1 in the CSAC. Freshman Maggie Javitt and junior Nicole Broccolino won their match 8-3, and senior Samantha Trumbo paired with sophomore Elena Conway to win their match 8-3.
Due to the rain, only two of the singles matches were completed. Because of the slippery courts, the Falcons and the Cavaliers moved to an indoor location. McHenry added another win to her list for the day, finishing the match 8-4. Yeich also dominated in singles play, finishing the day 8-4 as well over the Falcons.
The rain did not seem to stop the Blue and White from having a successful day. “Today went really well and I’m glad we got to go inside to finish the win. I don’t think the rain affected our playing… everyone had a great match,” Yeich said.
With this match being another conference match, keeping up the momentum is extremely important. “We’re down to our last matches and it’s been really important to play knowing that the CSAC is on the line, and I think we did that today,” Javitt said.
After topping Cedar Crest, the Cavaliers are undefeated in the conference.
“Being undefeated feels awesome. It feels like all of our hardwork and time has paid off, but we’re trying not to get too excited because we know we’re not done yet,” Conway said.
If the Lady Cavs continue to work hard, a conference win could be just over the horizon. “We can do it; we just have to believe in ourselves,” Yeich said.
With just one last match left in the regular season before the playoffs, the team continues to keep up their success. “We win and lose together and as long as we keep up the incredible support for each other, I don’t think there is anything that can stop us,” Javitt said.
The team will face Gwynedd Mercy University in their last regular season home match this Friday, Oct. 13 at 3:30 p.m.
