HAMDEN, Connecticut – The Quinnipiac women's tennis team won its fifth consecutive match as they wrapped up the regular season with a 7-0 win over the ASA College Avengers Sunday afternoon at the QU Outdoor Tennis Courts.
Quinnipiac improved to 13-10 (7-0 MAAC) with the victory, good for the second most wins in a season in program history.
Rachel Horton (Stamford, Connecticut) picked up two wins on the day for the Bobcats, giving her 20 wins in singles and 25 wins in doubles for 45 overall wins. Horton's 45 wins are good for the second most in a single season in program history, only trailing Jacqueline Raynor's program record of 48 from last season. Horton's 25 doubles wins are tied for the third most in a season in program history.
Sophia Dzulynsky (Miramar, California) won two matches to give her 35 victories this season, just one win shy of tying her single-season career 36 which she has done in each of her first two seasons at Quinnipiac.
Sitilia Rencheli (Sarasota, Florida) won two matches to give her 51 career victories while Jennifer Lu (Cypress, California) and Kelsi Oliphant (Calgary, Alberta) each won one match for the Bobcats.
Horton and Oliphant teamed up for the first time this season to clinch the doubles point for the Bobcats after Lu and Proyfon Lohaphaisan (Santa Clarita, California) won by default. Horton and Oliphant defeated Farah Baklouti and Shorena Tatelistvili at No. 2 doubles, 6-0. Dzulynsky and Rencheli also cruised in singles play with a 6-3 win over Francesca Costolongo and Anicia Knezevic.
Singles was much of the same for the Bobcats as Rencheli blanked Knezevic in her straight set victory, 6-0, 6-0 at No. singles. Horton went to three sets at No. 2 singles with Baklouti but managed to pull out the 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 victory. Dzulynsky and Costolongo battled at No. 1 singles but Dzulynsky won each in the tiebreaker, 7-6 (1) and 7-6 (2). Lu finished off the sweep for the Bobcats with a 6-3, 6-0 straight set win over Tatelistvili at No. 4 singles.
The Quinnipiac women's tennis team will return to action on Saturday, April 30 down at the Mercer County Park Tennis Center in West Windsor, New Jersey for the semifinals of the 2016 MAAC Tournament. Quinnipiac will face Niagara in the semifinals if Siena defeated Saint Peter's in regular season action on Sunday or will face Siena if they lost.
