SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse University Women's Tennis Team is coming off a perfect opening weekend and set to complete their four-match homestand against two in-state opponents. The Orange (2-0) face St. Bonaventure (0-1) on Saturday, Jan 27 at 11 a.m. and central New York rival Cornell (1-0) on Sunday, Jan 28 at 11 a.m.
Â
'Cuse faces St. Bonaventure for its second all-time meeting this weekend. The last time the two programs squared off was in February of 2000, where the Orange swept the Bonnies, 7-0. This Sunday will mark the 27th all-time meeting between Syracuse and Cornell. In their most recent meeting last January, the Orange came out on top, 6-1. Â
Â
St. Bonaventure fell to Navy in its spring opener this past Saturday. The pairing of Cirkeline Lundberg and Kelly Barnes gave the Bonnies their sole victory of the day in a 6-1 loss. Cornell began their spring season against Fordham in their first-ever meeting, topping the Rams 6-1. Duo Emma Baker and Laren Stein combined for a 6-3 win in the No. 1 doubles match. Stein secured the first singles point with a 6-0, 6-3 victory in the number one singles spot.
Â
Syracuse was most recently in action against Fordham, sweeping the Rams 7-0 after beginning the season with a 7-0 victory over Army. Miyuka Kimoto won both matches on the weekend in the number one spot for singles, defeating Army's Cooper Jackson 6-3, 6-2 and Fordham's Raffaela Alhach 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Shiori Ito won on Saturday and Sunday in the number one doubles spot. Ito also secured the first singles point against Army and Fordham in the number six singles spot.
Â
Following Sunday's match, 'Cuse will hit the road for the first time this season. The Orange travel to New York, N.Y. on February 4 to face Columbia for the 8th all-time meeting and first since February of 2020.
