WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Syracuse tennis team secured its third road victory of the season after a resounding 7-0 win over Army at the Lichtenberg Tennis Center Friday afternoon. The Orange (12-4) swept its second-straight opponent and improved its road record to 3-4 on the season while the Black Knights (14-7) lost its fourth-straight match.
Junior co-captain Emily Harman and freshman Maddie Kobelt continued their dominance at the No. 1 doubles spot and defeated Army's pairing of Annie Houghton and Jessica Ahn, 8-2. The Orange duo has won nine matches in a row at the top spot and improve to 13-2 as a pair for the season.
Senior co-captain Simone Kalhorn and freshman Aleah Marrow again paired up to win their second match in a row at the No. 2 doubles spot, defeating the Black Knight pairing of Annie Hang and Emily Stein in an 8-3 decision. Junior Alessondra Parra combined with senior co-captain Christina Tan to defeat Army's Margaret Iliev and Carly Riney, 8-3 at the No. 3 doubles spot.
Singles play featured more domination by the Orange with every match being decided in straight sets for the second match in a row for Syracuse.
Kobelt secured her 25th career victory with a win over Ahn at the No. 2 singles position while her doubles counterpart, Harman, found similar success at the No. 1 spot and secured her second-straight singles win over Houghton.
