Women's Tennis Clinches ECC Playoff Spot with Senior Day Victory over Roberts Wesleyan

10/12/2019 6:22:00 PM

Box Score East Meadow, N.Y. - The women's tennis team will return to the East Coast Conference Tournament for the fourth time in program-history, clinching the program's first berth since the 2012 season in a 4-3 victory over Roberts Wesleyan College. The victory put the Lions at 4-4 on the season and 2-2 in league play. The victory also extends Molloy's winning streak to three contests, also a first since 2012. Prior to the match, the Lions celebrated the careers of seniors Montaine Le Goupil-Maier and Samantha Bloecker in a Senior Day ceremony.

How it Happened
  • Molloy won at top doubles with junior Sarah Moehrlein and freshman Hannah Niggemeier earning a 6-1 victory. Unfortunately, the maroon and white were unable to pick up a victory at #2 or #3 doubles, handing the doubles point to the Redhawks.
  • The tides turned after a regrouping before singles play, beginning with both Niggemeier (6-2, 6-0) and Moehrlein (6-3, 6-3) picking up their second wins of the day at #3 and #1 singles, respectively.
  • Senior Montaine Le Goupil-Maier took a third point for the maroon and white, winning her #2 singles match 6-2, 6-3.
  • The match was clinched at #5 singles as sophmore Briana Gonzalez won 7-5, 6-3.
