WEST HAVEN, Conn. – It's ring season in West Haven as the University of New Haven women's tennis team completed its unbeaten fall rewriting the record books with a 4-1 win over the No. 2 seeded Adelphi Panthers to secure the program's first ever Northeast-10 Championship.

New Haven opened up the day nearly sweeping the doubles point with the No. 1 doubles pair of Valentinna Ferrarini (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) and Karim Carreras (Asuncion, Paraguay/Colegio Bautista de Villa Morra) securing the first point of the day with a 6-4 victory in the No. 1 doubles position. The victory at the top doubles spot followed a 6-2 win at the No. 2 doubles position with Risako Umekuni (Saitama, Japan/Shumei Eiko) and Victoria Togores (Canary Islands, Spain/Colegio Hispano Ingles) earning the day's opening victory. Leni Bischof (Aigen, Austria/BRG Stainach) and Laura Ortner (Schlierbach, Austria/BRG Kirchdorf) went unfinished at No. 3 doubles, however they held a 5-3 advantage at the time the doubles point was decided.

Heading into singles play, New Haven was searching for three points to secure the title and they would do just that earning points at No. 3, No. 4 and No. singles with the lone point of the day for the Panthers coming at No. 2 singles with Zuzanna Witkowska earning the win.

The middle singles matches of Umekuni at No. 3 and Togores at No. 4 were the first to finish and add points to the Chargers tally. Umekuni earned the first single win with 6-1, 6-3 scores while Togores defeated her opponent by the opposite scores of 6-3, 6-1.

Needing just a single point to take the victory, the Chargers looked to Ferrarini at No. 1 singles, Agustina Ravera (Miramar, Fla./Broward Virtual School) at No. 6 singles and Ortner at No. 5 singles and it was the latter to closed out the victory with scores of 6-3, 6-1 as her teammates piled on top of the freshman to celebrate the title.

Both Ferrarini and Ravera would go unfinished with Ferrarini tied at 4-4 in her second set after falling 6-4 in the opener and Ravera battling to force a third set after scores of 3-6, 6-4 and then ending in a 1-1 stalemate in the third set.
