PURCHASE, N.Y. - The SUNY Purchase women's tennis team secured a big Skyline Conference win Wednesday, besting St. Joseph's University-Long Island by the score of 5-2.
With the results, the Panthers are now 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the league. For the Golden Eagles, they dropped to 3-3 and 0-1, respectively.
The Blue and Orange started the day with three-straight wins in doubles action to claim the first matchup point, before they pulled away in singles action.
No.1
Amelia Perlmutter (SR/Rutherford, NJ) cruised 6-2, 6-4, while No.3
Bianka Grzesik (FY/Warwick, NY) won with ease - 6-2, 6-1.
No.4
Emma Van Dorpe (JR/Nyack, NY) claimed the third win with totals of 6-4, 6-2, before No.6
Sadie Killebrew (SR/Brooklyn, NY) prevailed in three sets.
The win was a major flip-flop from the season prior, as the Panthers fell at St. Joseph's last year by the score of 6-1.
Purchase will look to continue its great start to the season this weekend, as the squad travels to Mount Saint Mary College on October 3rd.
