Scot Women's Tennis Head Home With 1-4 Mark


The College of Wooster women's tennis team concluded its spring break trip in Hilton Head, S.C., with a 7-2 loss to Calvin on March 20.

The Scots picked up victories at third singles and second doubles, while the Knights swept the remaining matches in straight sets.

Wooster junior Sara Stonewater fell to 1-4 in her debut season at number-one singles after a 6-2, 6-2 loss to Keit Disselkoen. At second singles, Katie Zeilstra took the first set 6-2, but sophomore Kristin Walley put up a tough fight in the second set before losing it 7-5. Freshman Sara Olson improved to 3-2 in singles play with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Calvin's Jessica Bosma in the third position.

Anne Koldenhaven easily topped senior Ryan Clark at fourth singles 6-2, 6-0, while Rachel Knoester downed freshman Neela Satynurthy by the same score at number-six. Scot freshman Amanda Bain nearly pulled off an upset in the fifth position, however, Sally Skodinski prevailed 7-5, 6-4.

Calvin's Disselkoen and Zeilstra teamed up together to defeat Stonewater and Walley at first doubles 6-3, 6-1. Number-two doubles was the most-competitive match of the afternoon, as Bain and Clark topped their opponents 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. Rounding out the results, Olson and Satymurthy dropped a 6-1, 6-3 decision at third-doubles.

The Scots, who are 1-4 on the season, will now prepare for their first home match, which will take place on Tuesday, March 28, at 3:30 p.m., against conference-opponent Ohio Wesleyan.

"Even with the two injuries that occurred last week, I think that we had a good overall trip," said Wooster first-year head coach Lauren Cline. "I still believe that we can be competitive in North Coast Athletic Conference-play."
