WOMEN'S TENNIS WINS 3RD STRAIGHT AT ST. FRANCIS BROOKLYN

FLUSHING, NY – Five Hawks won at both singles and doubles as the Monmouth University women's tennis team breezed past St. Francis Brooklyn, 7-0, for its third-straight win Friday at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center. With the win, the Hawks improve to 5-8 on the year.

Monmouth blanked the Terriers in all three doubles flights to take the match's first point. Adriana Armendariz (Pamplona, Spain/Colegio San Ignacio [Maryville]) and Kendal Kauffman (Toms River, NJ/Toms River North) beat Vanja Savic and Jennifer Gonzalez at No. 1, while Alexandra Graff (Bastad, Sweden/IMG Academy) and Maria Ivanova (Moscow, Russia/IMG Academy) also made quick work of Dezhane Bennett and Rebecca Mares at No. 2. Chioma Gabriel (Piscataway, NJ/Piscataway) and Rayne Ruoff (Reading, PA/Exeter Twp Sr.) combined to defeat Dragana Dzigurski and Maery Fornolles at No. 3.

Armendariz defeated Savic, 6-1, 6-2, at No. 1 singles in what proved to be the closest match of the day. Making her Monmouth debut, Grace Wills (Tinton Falls, NJ/Monmouth Regional [Brookdale C.C.]) blanked Fornolles at No. 6. Graff, Gabriel and Kauffman also matched the 6-0, 6-0, margin of victory in wins over Bennett, Gonzalez and Dzigurski at Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Ivanova rounded out the win with a 6-0, 6-1, victory at No. 5 over Mares.

The Hawks return to MAAC play Sunday, when they travel to Marist. The match has been moved indoors to Match Point Tennis in Goshen, NY, at 5 p.m. due to a threatening weather forecast.
