Women's Tennis Finishes Winless against Amherst

The women's tennis team lost several close matches en route to a 0-9 loss to Amherst College last Friday.

All first sets were extremely close, as the Beavers came out firing away aggressively. Amherst really showed what mature tennis is all about as they contained the Engineer attacks and started their own.

At first singles Carol Matsuzaki '95 lost 6­4, 6­1 against one of the top-ranked Division III women in the country. At the number two spot, Lily Koo '97 continued to display some of her best tennis, but lost 6­3, 6­2. Nora Humphrey '98 came up short in the third sport, 6­3, 6­2.

At fourth singles, Seetha Ramnath '96 lost an extremely close, well­played match, 7­5, 6­3. At fifth singles, Bobby Kommineni '97 was also involved in a very close battle but lost 7­6 (7­5), 6­3. At sixth singles, Miranda Fan '95 played tough and barely lost 7­5, 6­4.

In doubles play, the first doubles team of Matsuzaki and Humphrey and the second doubles team of Koo and Ramnath both lost 8­3, while the third doubles team of Fan and Sejal Shah '95 lost 8­4.

The team's next match is the Middlebury Tournament, which will be held on April 14-16.
