Fermosel Secures Two Victories, Women's Tennis Falls to Le Moyne

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven women's tennis team suffered a 5-2 decision to the Le Moyne Dolphins in a Northeast-10 Conference matchup at the University of New Haven tennis courts on Saturday afternoon. With the defeat, New Haven completed its conference schedule with a 7-4 mark, the most conference wins since the 2012-13 season.
 
Le Moyne earned the doubles point on the day, however graduate student Laura Fermosel (Colmenar Viejo, Spain/ÍES Rosa Chacel) and sophomore Stephanie Gonzalez (Guaynabo, Puerto Rico/Academia Maria Reina) improved their No. 1 doubles mark to 11-1 on the year with a 7-5 defeat over Birdem Oz and Tiffany Hamdan.
 
In singles action, Fermosel grabbed her second victory of the day, as she sailed past Hamdan in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1 to move her record to 9-2 at the No. 1 court. Sophomore Lilia Rodriguez (Bayamon, Puerto Rico/Colegio Marista) grabbed New Haven's second point on the match as she split the first two sets with Nunez, 6-4 and 0-6, before coming out on top in the tiebreak set, 10-7. Freshman Nicole Mika (Staten Island, N.Y./Laurel Springs) suffered just her third dual match setback of the season, falling to Caroline St. Antoine, 6-3, 0-6, 8-10.
 
With the results from Saturday's match, New Haven secured the No. 5 seed in the Northeast-10 tournament, while Le Moyne clinched the No. 4 seed. The teams will meet again in the postseason on Wednesday, October 24 at the Drumlins Country Club in Syracuse, N.Y at 1:00 pm.
 
New Haven will return to action tomorrow, Sunday October 21, to close out the regular season with a non-conference and non-region match against UC Irvine. Prior to the match, the women's tennis program will honor five student-athletes on Senior Day, including Caitlyn Burridge (Center Moriches, N.Y./Center Moriches), Lauryn Burridge (Center Moriches, N.Y./Center Moriches), Laura Fermosel (Colmenar Viejo, Spain/ÍES Rosa Chacel), Nicole Calabrese (Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville) and Ashley Varrone (Shelton, Conn./Shelton).
