Women's Tennis Earns Program-Best 11th Win

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Randolph cruised to a 9-0 win today in non-conference action to eclipse the program's record for wins in a season.

First-year Alison Henry (Charlottesville, Va./Albemarle) and junior Patricia Verdezoto (Cuenza, Azuay, Ecuador/Bilingue Interamericano) won at top doubles, while sophomore Dina Velazco (Barquisimeto, Venezuela/Colegio Las Fuertes) and first-year Jenna Sweet (Clarksville, Md./Atholton) were victorious at No.2.

Both scores were 8-1.

First-year Heather Parra (Wilmington, N.C./Eugene Ashley) and sophomore Sarah Parker (Washington, D.C. / Sidwell Friends) won via forfeit at third doubles.

The three doubles wins were enough, as junior Danielle Lewis (Kingston, Jamaica/Immaculate Conception) and first-year Anna McKenzie (Kingston, Jamaica/Immaculate Conception) were awarded forfeit wins at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, giving Randolph five points before the first contest singles match.

Henry, Parra, Parker and Sweet all took care of business in those contested matches, however, winning in straight sets in the top four spots.

With the win, Randolph eclipses last season's 10 wins for the program record.

There is still work to be done, however, as Randolph's playoff seeding will be impacted greatly by the result from this Friday's match against Randolph-Macon in ODAC play.
