Women's Tennis coasts past Geneva in PAC sweep, 9-0



WASHINGTON, Pa. -- The Washington & Jefferson College women's tennis team claimed its second straight conference win with a dominant 9-0 victory over Geneva College on Wednesday evening at the Janet Swanson Tennis Center. 

The win improved W&J to 3-1 in Presidents' Athletic Conference play and 4-5 overall. Meanwhile, the setback drops the Golden Tornadoes to 2-3 in league contests and 4-4 overall. 

The Presidents swept doubles play to take an early 3-0 lead before going a perfect six-for-six in singles play to complete the 9-0 sweep. 

The top team of Maya Krishnasamy (Ventura, Calif./Ventura) and Isabella Goldman (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper Saint Clair) claimed an easy 8-1 win at first doubles while Vanesa Hyde (Manns Choice, Pa./Chestnut Ridge) and Jade Annaldo (North Kingstown, R.I./Scituate) secured a victory with an 8-2 decision. Megan Berard (Yardley, Pa./Pennsbury) and Caitlin Shellhamer (Birdsboro, Pa./Daniel Boone) pulled out an 8-6 win at third doubles. 

Krishnasamy, the reigning PAC Player of the Week, won 6-1, 6-2 at first singles while Goldman matched that with identical scores at second singles. Berard rolled to an 6-0, 6-2 victory at third singles while Annaldo (7-5, 6-3) and Shellhamer (6-1, 6-2) won in straight sets at fourth and fifth singles, respectively. Hyde fought back from a setback in the opening set to win 7-5 in the second set and 10-5 in the third set tiebreaker at sixth singles.
