Newbury Defeats Mitchell

The Newbury College women's tennis team defeated the visiting New England Collegiate Conference foe Mitchell College by a score of 6-3, this afternoon in Chestnut Hill, MA.  This is the Nighthawks' second straight win over the Mariners this season, improving their record to 6-7, (3-3 NECC) on the season. 

The Nighthawks decidedly swept doubles play by scores of 8-4, 8-2 and 8-0 as the much improved Newbury team carried the play early in this event.  It was a little different in singles play, as the scrappy Mariners played well to take three out of the six matches for the final tally.

Alexandra Derderian (North Providence, RI / North Providence), Jen Swafford  (Merrimack, NH / Merrimack) and Stephanie Valentine (Pleasant Valley, CT / St. Paul Catholic) led the way for the Nighthawks as each was victorious in their doubles and singles match.

Mitchell enjoyed fine play Julie Felts (Carver, MA / Silver Lake), Erica Fazio (Waterford, CT / Waterford) and Carly Crozer (Kailua, Hawaii / Academy of the Pacific).

The Nighthawks will host Bay Path College on Monday, October 12^th;  match time is 12:00 PM.
