3/12/2019 7:52:00 PM | Women's Tennis
The Bears ended their spring break trip to SoCal the right way, with a win against Division III Wheaton College 6-1.
Both UNC and the Wheaton College Lyons, from Norton, Massachusets got a break from the winter weather and were able to play an outdoor match at Fullerton College, the first of the spring season for the Bears.
All three doubles matches were dominated by the Bears. Raffa Mora/Anna Battersby won the No. 1 match by a score of 6-2. Sandra Keta/Sarina Chhabra had the other doubles win for the Bears by winning in the No. 3 spot 6-1. Despite the match being unfinished, Madeline Doherty/Synclair Larson held a commanding 5-1 lead over their opponent.
The lineup was a little different than the past few matches for the Bears in singles. Mana Koitabashi won in the No. 4 spot 6-4, 6-1 to earn her first win on the spring season. Natalie Stranton had a decisive victory 6-0, 6-1 in the No. 5 spot. Elisabeth Walsh played an extremely close match in the No. 6 spot, but ultimately Harley Swainston took the only victory on the day for the Thunder 6-4, 6-3.
The Bears finished their business with wins from Sandra Keta 6-4, 6-3 in No. 1, Madeline Doherty 6-3, 6-1 in No. 2, and Synclair Larson 6-0, 6-1 in No. 3.
Head Coach Chad Stoloff had this to say after the match,
"It was a good, tough match for us today. . .good to play outside here in sunny southern California. We competed well, played some higher percentage tennis. . .they are a very strong team, extremely well coached. . .they gave us good challenges, it was good to see some problem solving and continuing to grow and get better and get stronger, wiser. . .we are looking forward to playing at home on Friday against Montana."
UNC will get back to playing Big Sky Conference opponents on Friday when the Bears return to Greeley to take on Montana at 1 PM.
