GETTYSBURG, PA – The York College women's tennis team dropped their 2024 fall opener on Saturday as they were blanked by Gettysburg College 7-0 in Gettysburg.

College tennis is playing by new scoring rules this year as the three doubles matches now only count for one team point in a match. The Spartans fall to 0-1 while the Bullets are 1-0.

The Bullets swept the three doubles matches as they won the first doubles match 6-0, the second doubles contest 6-1 and the third doubles bout 6-3 to take a 1-0 lead.

Gettysburg began the singles matches with a 6-0, 6-0 second singles win. The Bullets made it 3-0 with a 6-0, 6-1 sixth singles victory. Gettysburg closed out the team victory with a 6-1, 6-0 first singles win to provide for the decisive fourth team point.

Sophomore Kennedy Conte had a strong showing in the fourth singles match as she dropped a three-set decision to Emma Ward. Conte won set one 6-4 before Ward captured set two 6-0. Ward then won the third set tiebreaker 10-4.

The Spartans are now off until next Saturday when they are set to host Goucher College in a non-conference match. The contest is set for a 1:00 pm start.
