WOMEN’S TENNIS | Hoyas Lose 2 Matches in Virginia

Back in action for the first time since its first win over spring break trip, the Georgetown women’s tennis team travelled to Norfolk, Va., losing 7-0 to Old Dominion and 4-3 to Middle Tennessee State.

Dominating the competition from top to bottom, the Old Dominion Monarchs (14-4, 4-0 Conference USA) swept the Hoyas (1-9, 0-1 Big East) 7-0 on Friday as Georgetown played undermanned. The two squads finished doubles play first, as Old Dominion earned a pair of 6-2 wins over the teams of senior Drew Spinosa and junior Sydney Goodson and senior Daphne de Chatellus and freshman Sophie Henderson. The doubles point was decided before junior Risa Nakagawa and senior Casey Marx’s match could be completed.

On Saturday, the Hoyas took on the Middle Tennessee State Lightning (12-5, 1-1 Ohio Valley Conference), and Georgetown lost by a 4-3 margin for the fourth time in their 10 matches. The two squads split the singles matches, as Nakagawa and Spinosa both bounced back from Friday’s performance with singles wins. Nakagawa prevailed in three sets, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, while Spinosa won in straight sets, 7-6, 7-6. De Chatellus provided the Hoyas’ final point of the competition with a dominating 6-4, 7-6 performance over her Lightning counterpart. Middle Tennessee State collected the deciding point in doubles play, where the Lightning swept the Hoyas.
