The New York University women's tennis team was defeated 6-3 by the University of Rochester at the Stadium Tennis Center at Mill Pond on Saturday, April 6.

NYU (1-3) got off to a quick start by winning two of the three doubles matches. However, Rochester proved to be too much for the Violets in the singles matches.

Mari Tzakis and Madeline King combined for an 8-6 victory at #2 doubles, while Becky Kumar and Jazmin Colling earned an 8-6 win at #3 doubles.

Alison Wang notched NYU's lone singles victory, 6-1, 7-5 at #2.

"Overall, it was a close match, with it being 4-3 towards the end," said Head Coach Horace Choy. "Our players competed well, but Rochester is just a strong team."

The Violets return to the court on Sunday, April 7, when they host William Smith College at 11:00 am.
