Syracuse Dashes to Dartmouth for Fall Finale

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse tennis team travels to New England this week to take part in its sixth and final tournament of the fall season at the Dartmouth Invitational from Friday, November 7 through Sunday, November 9.

Last weekend at the Yale Invitational, juniors Chelsea Jones and Ashley Spicer, sophomore Jacquelynn Tang and newcomers Emily Harman and Victoria Ford each grabbed two wins in singles play. In doubles action, the Orange pairing of sophomore Katlyn Haycock and Ford collaborated for two Syracuse victories. Sophomores Christina Tan and Simone Kalhorn each prevailed in one solo match at Yale.

Last weekend, the Orange spread itself out to two different tournaments. Syracuse was represented by sophomore Christina Tan and freshman Emily Harman at the Wilson/ITA East Region Championship hosted by the University of Pennsylvania.

Tan clipped Radford's Petra Dajevic in her first ITA singles match, rallying back from a close 7-6 (2) tiebreaker loss to win the next two sets, 6-4 and 6-3. Tan moved onto the second round of the competition and squared off against the eighth seeded Janet Kim of Yale. Tan hung tough throughout the match but was eventually overcome by Kim, 6-4, 6-2.

In doubles' action, Harman and Tan opposed UVA's ninth-ranked duo of Amanda Rales and Lindsey Hardenbergh for the first round of play. SU's duet battled the Cavaliers throughout the entire match, but was defeated 8-6.

That same weekend, the remaining Orange revisited Brown University and took on opponents from Army, Brown, the University of Rhode Island and Stony Brook at the Brown Invitational II. Spicer and Kalhorn defeated the teams of Robie Verano/Jurelle Mendoza and Michael Tollerton of Army and Jessica Ahn, 8-4, 8-2, respectively. Freshmen Allison Haynes and Ford paired up for a victory against Army's Maria Casaletto and Angela Smith, 8-2.
