Women's Tennis Crushes St. Peter's in MAAC Opener

The Stags women's tennis team made it two for two against St. Peter's for the Fairfield tennis teams by shutting out the Peacocks, 7-0, on Monday in Jersey City, NJ.

Paulina Rys `10 played her first MAAC match at number one singles and faced tough competition from St. Peter's Vanessa Pangikas. Rys won in three sets, 6-4, 5-7, 10-5.

Lauren Bonanno `09, Alexis Accomando `07, Gabriela Davila `09, and Courtney Price `08 all also picked up singles victories. The Stags picked up a sixth singles victory by default, as St. Peter's did not have enough players.

The Stags won the doubles point as the Peahens forfeited the third doubles spot. Fairfield split the matches it did play, as Davila and Rys won at first doubles, but Accomando and Bonanno fell in the second spot.

Fairfield stays on the road, traveling to Storrs, Conn. for a matchup against UConn on Thursday, before returning home for the next five matches, four of which will be against MAAC opponents.
