Hamden, Connecticut - The Quinnipiac Women's Tennis Team welcomed the first day of Fall with a 7-0 victory over the Hartford Hawks Tuesday at the QU Outdoor Tennis Courts to pick up its first win of the 2014-15 season.
It was an all-around solid performance from the Bobcats as they didn't drop a set on the entire day to the Hawks.
Starting off with doubles, Quinnipiac set the tone early against Hartford. Sophia Dzulynsky (Miramar, Florida) and Sydney Young (Austin Texas) picked up a well-earned win over Katie Long and Skylar Schaar, 8-3. Dzulynsky picked up her 50th career win with the doubles win.
Jacqueline Raynor (Garden City, New York) and Ariana Launie (Milton, Massachusetts) teamed up for No. 2 doubles and cruised to an 8-1 victory over Meredith Heitland and Madeline Makings.
Rounding off the doubles play was the duo of Nicole Keklik (Stratford, Connecticut) and Daniella Reyes (Burr Ridge, Illinois) who completed the doubles sweep over Hartford against Emily Sneddon and Hannah Goldman, 8-2.

Shortly after, Raynor fought hard in the first set before cruising in the second to pick up her 131st career win over Long, 7-5, 6-1.
Sitilia Rencheli (Sarasota, Florida) competed in just singles on the day and made quick work of Schaar, 6-3, 6-1 to pick up the victory.
Young continued her winning ways for the Bobcats as she sailed to win over Heitland, 6-2, 6-0. With the two wins, Young is just one win shy of 50 career wins.
