MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - The College of Charleston women's tennis team continued its winning ways by securing its 12th-straight win in a 4-1 victory over Cornell on Thursday night at the CofC Tennis Center at Patriots Point.
The Cougars (16-4) lost the doubles point, but rebounded 4-0 in singles before play was called at 10 p.m. (ET) with the match already decided. Senior Caroline Newman (Greensboro, N.C.) played the role of clincher for the second time of the day as she secured the fourth point for the Cougars with a come-from-behind 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over Cornell's Christine Ordway at the No. 2 spot.
Junior Christin Newman (Greensboro, N.C.), freshman Jenny Falcone (Davidson, N.C.) and senior Katie Lee (Brisbane, Australia) chipped in with straight-set singles victories to help the Cougars roll along on their season-best win streak. A rain delay halted match play at the start of the second set of singles.
"It was a very good comeback win for us," CofC Director of Tennis Angelo Anastopoulo said. "We benefited from the rain delay more than Cornell, because we were able to jump ahead of them after the break in play. We will enjoy the next three days off before getting back on the practice courts to prepare for conference play."
CofC, who played 10 matches in the course of 12 days, will now enjoy a bye week prior to a Southern Conference road trip to Davidson on Sunday, April 1 at 11 a.m. (ET) in Davidson, N.C.
