18th-Ranked Mary Washington Tops Salisbury And Wesley In CAC Women's Tennis Action
The 18th ranked University of Mary Washington women's tennis team swept a pair of Capital Athletic Conference matches from Salisbury University and Wesley College in Salisbury, Md. on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles improve to 11-7 overall and 6-0 in CAC play.
Saturday's matches were moved inside at Salisbury's Tennis Center because of storms moving through the area. But the Eagles downed the host Sea Gulls and Wolverines, both by 5-0 margins, sweeping all doubles matches to set up the victories.
The top four UMW singles players each won once Saturday. #2 Megan Lawlor and #4 Michelle Meadows gained the clinching points against Salisbury while #1 Courtney Gioramac and #3 Lindsay Raulston picked up wins against Wesley.
