Mules Edge Women's Tennis, 5-4

Scranton, Pa. - Visiting Muhlenberg College edged Marywood University 5-4 in non-conference women's tennis action Saturday afternoon.  The loss drops the Pacers to 1-4 while the Mules improve to 2-0.

Marywood enjoyed a 2-1 lead after doubles play thanks to wins from Allison Bashore and Gabriella Nowak at one-doubles as well as Faith Kendricks and Karah Laboranti at two-doubles.  Bashore and Nowak took a 8-5 decision over Caroline Armknecht and Caroline Maglaras, while Kendricks and Laboranti earned a 8-6 win over Sophia Framm and Maria Stere.  

At three-doubles, Muhlenberg's Giulia Gerschel and Malin Hermanson edged the Pacers' duo of Julia Cicco and Elsa Kovatch, 8-6. 

If doubles action was not tight enough, things intensified in singles play. Tight singles matches at three, four and six singles made things interesting, but the Mules pulled out the win with victories at one, two and five singles. 

Maglaras took care of Bashore in the top singles flight, 6-4, 6-1.  Armknecht defeated Nowak 6-1, 6-0 at two-singles, while Gerschel cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Angela Giroux at five singles.

Kayla Flyte kept Marywood in the match with a 7-5, 6-2 win over Hermanson at six singles, while Laboranti edged Framm 7-6 (9-7) in the first set then went on for an easy 6-0 win in the second set.

Coming down to the last match, Mulhlenberg's Maria Stere took down Kendricks at three-singles, 6-4, 7-6 (11-9).

Marywood travels to Penn College next Saturday at 2:00 pm for their final fall match.
