BRISTOL, R.I. - The Roger Williams University Women's Tennis team earned its eighth consecutive victory Wednesday afternoon with a 9-0 win over Curry College.
At doubles, Allie Grinavic and Gabrielle Riley set down Keeley Hardy (Charleston, S.C.) and Katelyn Harrington (Westport, Mass.) by an 8-0 score at #1. Jessica Magliato and Caroline McCarthy would also collect an 8-0 victory at #2, defeating Stephanie LeBlanc (East Bridgewater, Mass.) and Taylor Johnson (Abington, Mass.).
At singles, Akerman extended her winning streak to eight straight with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Hardy at #1, while Hughes set down Harrington by a similar 6-0, 6-0 margin at #2. Taryn Roche earned a 6-0, 6-0 win at #4 singles. At #3, LeBlanc would be the only Colonel to take a game on the day, but still fell 6-1, 6-0 to Ali Stankiewicz.
The Hawks would take the other three points via default, as Curry was only able to bring four players to allow RWU to win at #3 doubles and #5 and #6 singles.
Roger Williams (9-1, 5-0 CCC) travels to Endicott on Saturday, while Curry (1-10, 0-8 CCC) hosts Mount Ida on Friday.
