The MCLA women's tennis team received a pair of points from Emily Deaso, but it wasn't enough to overcome visiting Johnson State this afternoon
North Adams, MA- The visiting Johnson State tennis team took two of three doubles matches and then the bottom of their singles lineup came through as they defeated the MCLA Trailblazers 6-3 this afternoon in a key NAC matchup. With the win, the Badgers have now won four straight and sit at 5-5 overall and 3-2 in the NAC.
MCLA suffers the defeat in falling to 5-4 overall and evens their mark at 2-2 in conference play.
Emily Deaso and Mariza Sfakianaki earned a hard fought point in the first doubles slot, however the Badgers would take the next two points to lead 2-1 heading into singles play. The duo of Kali Covell and Ashley Fogg won a hard fought 8-6 match over Anna Despart and Rebecca Waterhouse to turn the tide.
In singles play, Deaso kept her strong play going as she won in straight sets in the top singles slot. Johnson's Katherina VonWoerkom earned a point in the second slot before MCLA's Sfakianaki earned a Trailblazer point in the third singles slot.
From there, the Badgers cruised as they won the final three slots to pull away with the victory. All the JSC wins were in straight sets over the Trailblazers.
MCLA is back in action Tuesday when they travel to Anna Maria.
