Box Score
BEVERLY, Mass. - The Plymouth State University
women's tennis team dropped its opening match of the season
Thursday afternoon, 7-2, to the Gulls of Endicott College in a
non-conference contest on Endicott's South Campus Courts.
The defending the Commonwealth Coast Conference champions, Endicott
has now defeated PSU five straight years since the Panthers last
won in 2004. It was the season opener for both schools.
The Panthers picked up their only wins of the day at No. 3 doubles
and No. 1 singles. Sophomore Lydia Smith
(Marblehead, Mass.) and freshman Karli Kesson
(Standish, Maine/Bonny Eagle) teamed up for an 8-4 victory at third
doubles. Freshman Sara Burke (Barrington,
R.I.) also posted a default victory at No. 1 singles when her
opponent could not continue after winning the first set tiebreaker.
The Gulls won the top two doubles matches and swept the other five
singles matches.
Plymouth State will look for its first win of the season Saturday
in a visit to the University of Southern Maine for the Little East
Conference opener. The Gulls get back to action Saturday when they
host Anna Maria College.
