NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (April
10, 2011) – The Franklin Pierce University women's
tennis team was defeated by Merrimack, 9-0, in Northeast-10
Conference play at Merrimack on Sunday afternoon. With the loss,
Franklin Pierce falls to 1-10 (1-10 Northeast-10), while Merrimack
improves to 8-7 (8-3 Northeast-10).
Junior Kaitlin Krolikowski
(Massapequa, N.Y.) and freshman Natasha McCarthy
(Rindge, N.H.) put up the biggest fights on the afternoon
for the Ravens. In doubles play, they teamed at first doubles, but
dropped an 8-4 decision.
In singles play, Krolikowski hung
tough with Merrimack freshman Kara Hole at first singles, but
ultimately fell, 6-3, 6-4. At second singles, McCarthy nearly
squeaked out the first set over junior Courtney Garvey, but was
clipped, 7-5. From there, all the momentum went the other way, as
Garvey posted a 6-1 win in the second set to take the match.
Five players posted wins in both
doubles and singles play in the shutout for Merrimack. Sophomore
Erin McMahon lost only one game on the day, as she posted an 8-0
win in the pro set format at sixth singles after teaming with
sophomore Katie Veasey for an 8-1 win at third doubles.
