COLTS NECK, NJ – Adriana Armendariz (Pamplona, Spain/Colegio San Ignacio [Maryville]) won at No. 1 singles, but the Monmouth University women's tennis team fell to Siena, 6-1, Saturday night at Colts Neck Racquet Club. With the loss, the Hawks fall to 5-12 (1-4 MAAC), while the Saints improve to 8-6 (3-1 MAAC).

The Saints swept the doubles point. Ali Garrity and Mitsuki Fukamachi defeated Armendariz and Kendal Kauffman (Toms River, NJ/Toms River North), 6-3, while Allysa Singh and Natalie Weaver took a 6-2 decision over Alexandra Graff (Bastad, Sweden/IMG Academy) and Maria Ivanova (Moscow, Russia/IMG Academy) at No. 2. Siena wrapped up doubles play with Rina Sakai and Julia Dunbar's 6-0 win over Chioma Gabriel (Piscataway, NJ/Piscataway) and Grace Wills (Tinton Falls, NJ/Monmouth Regional [Brookdale C.C.]).

Armendariz made quick work of Garrity at No. 1 singles, 6-2, 6-1. But the Saints took the remaining five singles matches and the 6-1 match victory. Graff found some success in a 6-1, 6-4, defeat to Sakai at No. 2, as did Ivanova in falling to Ann Phillips, 6-4, 6-1, at No. 5. But Siena won the remaining matches, all in straight sets.
