Fords Best UR in Spring Break Trip Finale, 6-3

ORLANDO, FL – Josephine Libby picked up a pair of wins in singles and doubles action, but the University of Rochester women's tennis fell to Haverford College, 6-3, on Wednesday afternoon at the USTA National Campus in the final match of their spring break trip.
 
Libby, paired with Sanjana Karnam, helped UR take a point in doubles action, 8-5, but the Fords took the other two doubles matches to open an early 2-1 advantage.
 
Haverford's Mimi Lavin and Summer Williams downed UR's Jaclyn Dron and Jasmin Toor, 8-5, to open up doubles play, before Erika Phanord and Abhishree Menon topped Neha Dania and Stephanie Kim, 8-3, to break the 1-1 tie and give the Fords a 2-1 lead.
 
Libby started the 'Jackets off in singles play with a 6-1, 6-1 victory to even the match at 2-all, but the Fords took the next three points to pull ahead and solidify their victory.
 
Lavin topped Karnam in the 2-spot, 6-4, 6-0, while Annie Barrett topped Dron at six singles, 6-4, 6-1, to give Haverford a 4-2 lead.
 
Rachael Fitzgerald then topped Toor, 7-5, 6-3, before Dania picked up a tiebreak win for UR at four singles, topping Summer Williams, 3-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-5).
 
Up 5-3, Kim and Sriya Krishnan finished off the match at the five-spot for Rochester and Haverford, with Krishnan taking the match, 6-3, 7-6 (7-1).
 
With the loss, Rochester drops to 2-5 on the year, while Haverford moves to 1-2.
 
The Yellowjackets next return home to the Goergen Athletic Center, hosting Ithaca College on Thursday, March 23 at 4:00 p.m.
