Anchorwomen Notables |
|
•
RIC has not lost since its first match of the season vs. Salve Regina
on Sept. 3. RIC has won its last six matches and went 2-0 last week.
The Anchorwomen defeated Springfield College on Sept. 22, then blanked
LEC foe Bridgewater State, 9-0, on Sept. 23. RIC also participated in
the Grass Court Doubles Tournament at the International Tennis Hall of
Fame in Newport, RI, placing third among the eight teams that
competed. |
|
• The Anchorwomen like playing on their home court and the numbers
back it up. RIC has won its last 16 home matches. The team is 4-0 at
RIC this fall, was 8-0 last season and won their final four home
matches of the 2003 campaign. The last time a RIC squad lost a home
dual match was a 5-4 loss to Johnson & Wales on Sept. 16, 2003. |

• At the Doubles Tournament, each of the three Anchorwomen teams fell
in the opening round, but rebounded to win their respective
consolation brackets. The team of senior Liz Barrette (North
Providence, RI)
and freshman Megan Hall (Smithfield,

went 2-1 during the day in flight A. Freshmen Margaret Funk
(Oakdale,
CT)
and Natasha Roman (Somerset,
