Women's Tennis Dominates Roanoke, 6-1

SALEM, Va. - The Shenandoah University women's tennis team won its second consecutive game with a 6-1 decision at Roanoke College in an ODAC match on Saturday afternoon.

The Hornets (6-4, 4-3) won all three doubles matches and took five of the six singles bouts in two sets over the Maroons (4-11, 3-5).

The Hornets came out firing in doubles action, quickly seizing momentum with three dominant wins. The duo of Tanea Spruill and Olivia Guzzo got things started at No. 1 doubles, winning 6-1. 

On court two, Allison Cherwien and Erin Talko didn't drop a game in a 6-0 rout. At No. 3, Kendra Gillette and Leigha Montrief matched the energy with a 6-1 win to help secure SU the team point.

The Hornets carried that momentum into singles, where Spruill continued her stellar day with a 6-0, 6-0 sweep at No. 1. Guzzo followed suit with a 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 2, and Talko and Gillette each added straight-set victories at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.

The most dramatic finish came at No. 6 singles, where Montrief rebounded from a first-set loss with a 6-4 set two win and a 10-5 win in the third, sealing SU's sixth and final point.
