Women's Tennis Wins Season Opener
A pair of hard-earned victories at fifth and sixth singles helped
push The College of Wooster women's tennis team past host Walsh College for
a season-opening 6-3 win on Friday evening (Feb. 23).
Wooster freshmen Stacia Koch and Molly Medaris proved to be the
difference makers, as the duo each won in three sets. Koch won 6-1, 2-6,
6-2 at No. 5 singles over Jessica Cramer, while Medaris came through with a
4-6, 6-3, 6-1 decision against Erin Sunseri at the No. 6 position.
Other Scots turning in singles victories were seniors Sara
Stonewater and Ashley Fisher. Stonewater easily won 6-1, 6-1 at the No. 2
flight, while Fisher posted a dominating 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 4.
Stonewater also combined with classmate Sarah Strickler for an 8-6
win at the top doubles position, while Fisher and junior Kristin Walley
were 8-5 victors at No. 2 doubles. Strickler lost her singles match 6-1,
6-1 at No. 1, while Walley lost the closest match of the day 6-7, 7-6, 6-1
at No. 3.
Rounding out the results was an 8-5 win at third doubles for Walsh
over Koch and Medaris.
Wooster does not play again until its spring break trip to Hilton
Head, S.C., in mid-March.
