The Friars kicked off their fall schedule in Hamden, Conn. this past weekend.
HAMDEN, Conn. - The Providence College women's tennis team opened the 2018 Fall season this past weekend at the Quinnipiac Invitational Tournament (Sept. 14-16) in Hamden, Conn. The Friars faced a tough weekend of competition with many talented teams from Army, Fairfield University, Sacred Heart University, Quinnipiac University, Boston University, Bryant University and the University of Connecticut.
Â
The doubles matches proved to be too tough for the Friars with all four teams losing their first-round matches. However, the team came back the same day with some great play and managed to claim three victories in their first singles matches.
Â
In the singles A draw, senior Risa Takenaka (St. Charles, Mo.) managed to claim one of the best victories of her career, taking down a player from the University of Connecticut (UTR 9.35), 7-5, 6-1. Freshman Mimi Dailey (Wellesley, Mass.) also claimed her first victory as a Friar, scoring a 6-3, 6-1 win over a player from Fairfield University in the singles D draw. Junior Natalie Pitocco (West Warwick, R.I.) claimed her first round match with a win over a player from the University of Connecticut in the singles C draw.
Â
The following day the Friars returned for more singles competition in which sophomore Grace Goyette (Bedford, N.H.) claimed her first victory of the season with an 8-2 win over a player from Sacred Heart University.
Â
The Friars return to action next Wednesday, September 26th, taking on Fairfield University.
