Final Match Decides Drew's 5-4 Loss at Moravian

Box Score

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (March 30, 2016) – The ninth and final match decided the Drew University women's tennis team's 5-4 loss at Moravian College in the 2016 Landmark Conference opener on Wednesday.
 
Top Performers: Junior Megan Jarvis posed a come-from-behind three-set victory at the fifth singles position. After dropping the first game 6-2, Jarvis bounced back in convincing fashion with consecutive 6-1 wins in sets two and three. At the time, Jarvis victory tied to team score at 4-4. Freshman Ty Ty Nguyen won at second singles (6-4, 6-4) and sophomore Kathryn Swenor triumphed at sixth singles by a score of 7-6 (7-2), 6-2. Swenor now leads the team with six singles victories this season.
 
The Turning Point: After Moravian (5-4, 1-1) won doubles 2-1, the Greyhounds kept the momentum rolling into singles play with wins at first and third singles to take a 4-2 lead. The Rangers (3-4, 0-1) stayed alive with Nguyen and Swenor's victories before Moravian sealed the win at fourth singles.
 
Other Highlights: Seniors Kirby Clark and Katie Marshall scored Drew's double victory in the No. 2 position, defeating their Greyhound foes, 8-6.
 
Coach's Take: "We saw a lot of good results today. Megan never gave up and came back really strong in the second and third sets, and Kathryn survived a gritty first set with a nice follow-up in the second for a straight-set win." – Head Coach Matthew Brisotti
 
Up Next: The Rangers have two Landmark Conference dual matches scheduled for the weekend at home, with Elizabethtown College visiting Madison on Saturday, April 2 at 1:00 p.m. and Goucher College coming to town on Sunday, April 3 at 1:00 p.m.
