With just one senior on both the men's and women's tennis teams, both squads will likely see better days down the road. Thus far this season after 9-0 victories by both squads yesterday, the present does not look so bad either.
In the final match of a five-match trip in Orlando, Fla., both teams swept Capital University of Ohio to solidify a trip that saw the women's team go 4-1 to improve to 6-2 on the season, and the men's team go 3-2 to move to 5-2 on the season.
In the finale, the women's team was paced by classmates Rachel Rosman '11 and Mackenzie Gallegos '11 at No. 1 doubles.
The duo swept its doubles opponents 8-0, and then went on to do the same to their singles foes at No. 1 and No. 4 singles, respectively, winning in straight sets 6-0, 6-0.
For the men, classmates Steven Nieman '11 and Simon Miller '11 led the way.
Miller won at No. 3 singles 6-0, 6-1 and paired with captain Scott Schulman '09 at No. 1 doubles to sweep Capital's top team 8-0.
Nieman teammed up with Mayur Kassety '11 at No. 2 doubles to win 8-5 and dominated at No. 1 singles, winning 6-0, 6-1.
Last Sunday, the women's team knocked off Oneonta State University by an 8-1 count. After jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead by sweeping doubles, the squad did not look back, surrendering a total of just six games in its five singles victories. On the men's side, the Judges defeated Hanover College of Indiana, also by a score of 8-1.
Rosman and Gallegos again led the way for the Judges, accomplishing the same feat as yesterday, as neither dropped a single game in three total matches.
The pair won its No. 1 doubles match 8-0 and followed that up with a pair of 6-0 sweeps in the No. 1 and No. 4 singles slots, respectively.
Captain Gabrielle Helfgott '09 and Nina Levine '12 teamed up at No. 2 doubles to win 9-8, 7-4 in the tiebreaker, and the pair of Emily Weisberger '10 and Ariana Sanai '10 won 8-1 in the No. 3 slot.
Prior to the match, Coach Ben Lamanna decided to change the doubles lineup, bumping Gallegos up to No. 1, Levine up to No. 2 and Helfgott down to No. 2.
