Mary Washington And York Women's Tennis Teams Gain Victories Thursday; UMW Finishes Undefeated Regular Season

Mary Washington, which previously clinched the top seed in the CAC women's tennis championship tournament, topped St. Mary's Thursday to complete its 2011 conference schedule as the undefeated regular-season champions.  York also gained a 7-2 win at Stevenson Thursday to clinch the No. 3 seed in the CAC playoffs.

The Eagles and Salisbury will be the top two seeds in the 2011 CAC playoffs, gain a bye in Sunday's first-round playoff action and host a semifinal match on Tuesday (4/19).

York and St. Mary's will both play against host Hood to complete regular-season play Friday.  York will be the third seed in the playoffs, and St. Mary's will be the fourth seed.   

If Hood can beat either YCP or SMC, the Blazers would qualify for the playoffs as the No. 5 seed and Wesley would be the No. 6 seed.  If Hood loses both matches Friday, Wesley will be the No. 5 seed in the tournament and Frostburg State will be No. 6.

Thursday at UMW, the Eagles defeated Washington College, 6-3, and St. Mary's College, 9-0, on Thursday at the Battleground to improve to 14-7 on the season, and 7-0 in Capital Athletic Conference play.  Courtney Goimarac, Lindsay Raulston and Casey Malcolm were two-time winners in singles play.

At Stevenson, York brought their two-match skid to a screeching halt on Thursday with a 7-2 triumph over Stevenson. With the win the Spartans improve to 9-6 overall and 4-2 in league play while the Mustangs fall to 6-11 and 1-6 in the CAC.

The Green and White snagged two of their six points in doubles play as York's #1 and #3 pairings posted victories. In the top spot, Katelyn Acker and Sarah Wargo collected a solid 8-2 triumph while Stephanie Nelson and Nicole Olson also won 8-2 and improve to 3-1 together on the year.  York would go on to take five points in singles play.
