EASTON, Mass.-- Junior Allison Bleakney (Lewiston, Maine) was one of three winners in both singles and doubles play as Stonehill extended its Northeast-10 Conference women's tennis regular season winning streak to 16 straight with a 5-4 league dual-match triumph over Merrimack at the Ames Sports Complex.
Freshmen Lauren Rowinski (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) and Samantha Dircks (Stony Brook, N.Y.) joined Bleakney in posting a pair of wins for the host Skyhawks (5-2, 2-0 Northeast-10), as the duo teamed up for a victory at the number two doubles spot while notching triumphs at the number three and four singles positions, respectively. Bleakney posted a straight set win at number five singles and teamed up with freshman Jessica Schaaf (Old Lyme, Conn.) for an 8-3 win at number three doubles for Stonehill.
Junior Jessica Lamb (Pinckney, Mich.) and freshman Caitlin Dunn (Middleton, Mass.) each posted a pair of wins in the setback for the visiting Warriors (3-9, 0-4 Northeast-10), as the duo teamed up for a 9-8 triumph at number one doubles and claimed victories at the top two singles positions. Sophomore Nora Cahill (Gloucester, Mass.) netted Merrimack's other point of the match with a straight-set win at number six singles.
