EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. – The Warriors kicked off the PSAC Tournament with a shutout 4-0 win over Edinboro in the quarterfinals on Tuesday afternoon at Wolbers Courts. This victory sets a new single-season wins record for the team, now sitting at 19.
HOW IT HAPPENED
With Edinboro bringing a lineup of four players, ESU started the dual up 2-0, needing only one win in doubles to claim the point. That came from the duo of
Lea Stefanovic and
Theresa Bauer, winning their set, 6-3. This marks Bauer's 20th doubles win of the season, tying the single-season program record.
Needing just one point to clinch the dual win,
Alice Ehrenlechner stepped into the spotlight, winning both of her sets 6-3 to end the match.
Though the three other matches went unfinished, the Warriors put up strong performances all around, setting the tone for the postseason. Stefanovic pulled through a tiebreaker in her first set to win and was leading the second at the end of the match.
Ariel Kelsick also won her first set, 6-4, and though down in the second, she was within a game and primed for a comeback. While
Jenna Kastell fell in her first set, she took four games, as well as five in the second set.
UP NEXT
