Skyhawks Fall 5-0 To No. 12 Cal (Pa.) In NCAA Round of 16
Altamonte Springs, Fla. - The Stonehill women's tennis team saw their record breaking season come to an end on Wednesday evening as they were defeated 5-0 by the 12th ranked Vulcans of California (Pa.) in the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
The Skyhawks finish their season with a school record 22-4 record after clinching their first ever trip to the NCAA round of 16, while the Vulcans move to 23-2.
In doubles play the No. 1 doubles duo of Lindsey Herchel (Hampden, Mass.) and Amy Toegemann (Narragansett, R.I.) lost 8-1, as did the No. 3 team of freshmen Sarah Hickey (Lee, Mass.) and Haley McNeel (Brielle, N.J.).
At No. 2 doubles junior Samantha Dircks (Stony Brook, N.Y.) and freshman Leah White (East Walpole, Mass.) fell 8-4.
In singles action, White lost 6-1, 6-0 and sophomore Caitlin Ryan (Medfield, Mass.) fell 6-0, 6-0 for the 5-0 defeat.
Though the NE-10 Champion Skyhawks season is over they don't lose any players to graduation and have only one junior in Dircks as they will look to defend their crown next season.
