BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (Sept. 29) – After two rainouts, the Waynesburg University women's tennis team was finally able to get back to action on Saturday, when it traveled to Geneva to face the Golden Tornadoes.
Despite two more wins for freshman standout
Rachel Klemash, the Yellow Jackets dropped a 6-3 decision to their Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) rivals. The loss dropped the Jackets to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in conference action. Geneva improved to 7-4 on the season and 5-2 in PAC competition.
The match was much more closely contested than the final score suggested. Not only did Klemash score an impressive 6-0, 6-0 win at first singles, she also teamed up with sophomore
Alyssa Daniel to pick up a hard-fought 8-6 triumph at number-one doubles. Daniel added a 6-3, 6-4 win at second singles for a 2-0 day. Junior
Markie Gustafson took the first set of her fourth singles match, but couldn't hold the lead as she fell 6-7, 6-0, 6-4. Sophomore
Ellen Limback also made her opponent work hard for a victory in a 6-3, 7-6 setback at number-three singles. The first-year pair of
Sarah Reyes and
Emily Meier nearly pulled off a victory at third doubles before ultimately dropping an 8-6 decision.
Waynesburg is back in action on Tuesday, Oct. 2, when they play their first of three matches next week against Malone. Start time is scheduled for 4 p.m.
