CAMBRIDGE -- In their opening dual match of the 2009-10 season, the 10th ranked Tufts University women's tennis team utterly dominated #25 MIT on Friday afternoon, winning by a 9-0 score. In the nine matches, Tufts lost just two games.
Coach Kate Bayard's team won five out of the six singles matches by 6-0, 6-0 scores. The shutout winners were senior tri-captain Meghan McCooey (Cumberland, RI) at #2, first-year Janice Lam (San Francisco, CA) at #3, first-year Lindsay Katz (Owings Mills, MD) at #4, junior Edwina Stewart (London, England) at #5 and first-year Lauren Hollender (Newton, MA) at #6. The only Tufts player to lose a game was junior #1 Julia Browne (Old Brookville, NY), who was a 6-1, 6-0 winner. The #1 player in the Northeast at the end of the 2008-09 season, Browne defeated MIT's Anastasia Vishnevetski, the 23rd ranked Northeast player.
The Jumbos were just as sharp in doubles play on Friday. Browne and McCooey at #1 and senior Erica Miller (Boca Raton, FL) with Katz at #2 both earned 8-0 victories. The #3 tandem of Lam and Hollender scored an 8-1 victory.
Tufts (1-0) opens their home schedule on Sunday when they host Babson College at 10 am. MIT (1-2) hosts Clark tomorrow at 1 pm.
