BOBCAT WIN LEADERS

A DOUBLY GOOD WIN

One of their victories came over Fordham's Carina Ma and Estelle Wong, 7-6 (8-3). Ma and Wong were undefeated to start the 2017-18 season until being defeated by Lu and Rodriguez.
CAPTAINS OF THE SHIP
Three-time MAAC Coach of the Year, Paula Miller, announced Proyfon Lohaphaisan and Amy Zammarieh as the captains of the Quinnipiac women's tennis team for 2018.
PICKED TO WIN AGAIN
Quinnipiac lost a deep senior class from last year's MAAC Championship team, including its No. 1 (Sitilia Rencheli), No. 3 (Rachel Horton) and No. 4 (Sydney Young) singles players. However, the league's coaches still showed their respect for what the Bobcats have accomplished, as Quinnipiac was still the unanimous favorites to win the 2017-18 MAAC Championship in the league's preseason poll.
LOOKING FRESH
A big reason why the Bobcats were still picked to win the MAAC is that they brought in an impressive freshman class to help fill the void left behind by last year's graduating class. So far, the rookies have not disappointed, as the team's freshmen have combined for 43 singles wins, led by 11 from Dominique Vasile, who has frequently played at No. 1 singles, and 10 from Courtney Nash.
