WINCHESTER, Va. - The Shenandoah University women's tennis team advanced to the ODAC Semifinals for the second time in three years with a 5-1 victory over Randolph-Macon at home in the quarterfinals on Wednesday afternoon.

The Hornets (12-6) outlasted the Yellow Jackets in all three completed singles matches after going back 2-1 at the end of doubles.

Tanea Spruill and Olivia Guzzo improved to 8-1 in their last nine matches teaming together with an 8-4 win on court one in doubles to get the first point of the afternoon for SU. Emily Hatseras and Erin Talko earned their eighth consecutive win as a duo with a 8-6 win on court three.
