YORK, PA – The York College women's tennis team baptized their new on-campus tennis facility with a 6-3 win over Goucher in a non-conference match on Monday in York.

The six-court facility was completed over the summer and is just to the east of Graham Field at the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center complex.

The Spartans improve to 1-0 overall while the Gophers fall to 1-1 overall. The match was the third day of a busy stretch for York as the Spartans played in the 2022 MAC Individual Championships over the weekend in Wilkes-Barre.

York took control of the match early as they swept the three doubles matches. Elsa Oestermarker and Brianna Rohrer downed Ceri McCaffrey and Natalie Navarro 8-5 in the first doubles match. Morrissey Walsh and Eleanor Beck gave York a 2-0 lead with an 8-4 third doubles match win. The freshmen tandem of Hannah Sult and Bri Serruto outlasted Eliza Abady and Jessica Townes 8-6 in the second doubles contest.

Shelby Meek got the Gophers on the board with a 6-2, 6-2 sixth singles win but Walsh put the Spartans one point away from a win as she earned a 6-3, 7-5 fifth singles win. Oestermarker clinched the win for York with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 first singles victory over McCaffrey.

Serruto picked up York's sixth point with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Abady in the third singles match. The Gophers earned wins in the second singles and fourth singles matches to provide for the Spartans' final margin of victory.

The Spartans return to action on Wednesday afternoon as they host McDaniel College in a non-conference contest. The match will be a doubleheader with the Spartan men as they also host the Green Terror. The match is slated for a 4:00 pm start.
