Selling Points
“Incredible way to finish the fall season by earning many wins against top quality opponents,” co-head coach Michael Sell said. “We’re thrilled that Maggie (Cubitt) picked up a top 30 singles win and played at the elite level in skill and confidence she played at all weekend.”

“Every player earned multiple wins and showed tremendous improvement in their development. Our doubles play has improved since the start of fall and the growth that the group has shown gives us huge momentum heading into the dual season in the spring.”

Graduate student Ena Babic and junior Nina Geissler began the day with a near perfect outing against Princeton’s Grace Joyce and Michelle Sorokko as they swept the team, 6-0.

The third set went the way of Linana, who did not drop a game to win 6-0 and secure the victory.

Babic was in action against Baylor’s Paula Baranano. Babic and Baranano played a tight first set that required a tiebreaker to decide, which saw Baranano squeeze a 7-3 win to take the lead after one.
