Jespersen and the Karera Sisters Lead Women's Tennis to 8-1 Win over RIT

The Saints were consistent up and down the lineup as the St. Lawrence University women's tennis team cruised to an 8-1 win over RIT on Saturday afternoon in the Newell Field House.

St. Lawrence improved to 7-6 with the win and 2-2 in Liberty League play, while RIT fell to 5-4 and 1-1 in league play.

In doubles, the Scarlet and Brown were perfect, going 3-0. At number one, Angelica Aksdal-Jansen and Molly Jespersen took on Kira Kronenberg and Maya Clinard and came away with an 8-4 win. In the second spot, the Karera sisters Ariane and Yvette came away with a quick 8-1 win over Abbie Murray and Jackie Drozd. Then at three, in the closest match, Elena Styliades and Abigail Sicuranza faced off against Anika Galkiewicz and Gabby Donahue and battled to a tight 8-7 (7-5) win.

In singles, Jespersen, Ariane Karera, and Yvette Karera all earned their second win of the day winning 2-0.

In the five spot, Maya Stepic lined up against Drozd and after losing the first set 6-4, bounced back for a 6-1 win to tie the match. The win was secured by Stepic, who won the marathon 14-12 set.

At six, Meredith Macey won her first set against Galkiewicz before heading to a third set which she would win 10-4 for the victory.
