Women?s Tennis Moves to 3-0 With 9-0 Win Over Fire

LAKELAND, Fla. – The fifth-ranked Embry-Riddle women's tennis team recorded the third shutout of its young season with a 9-0 decision against Sun Conference opponent Southeastern on Tuesday. The Eagles have blanked each of their three opponents this year and stand at 3-0 overall and 1-0 in league play.

The Eagles quickly went up 3-0 with a three-match sweep in doubles play as Yi Ching Chen and Josefine Ström blanked Noelle Cottom and Alexandra Fraser 8-0, Rocío Frej Vitallé and Ekaterina Kamendova downed Amanda Summers and Chelsey Lynn 8-2, and Kristina Marova and Paola Montero bested Wendy Reade and Autumn Housefield 8-0.

Kamendova was the first to register a singles victory for the Blue and Gold as she held Fraser scoreless (6-0, 6-0) at the No. 2 singles spot. Ström was close behind as she downed Reade by the same margin at the fifth singles position to register the clincher.

Frej Vitallé was next off the court after dispatching Summers 6-2, 6-0 at No. 3 singles and Marova recorded the Eagles' third singles shutout of the afternoon with a 6-0, 6-0 decision against Cottom at No. 4. Chen bested Lynn 6-0, 6-1 at the top spot and Landyn Scudder earned her first dual match singles win of the year with a 6-0, 6-2 defeat of Housefield and the sixth spot.

The Eagles will face their toughest challenge so far this season when they host NCAA Division II #4 ranked Barry on Friday afternoon at the Crotty Tennis Center.
