Tennis Keeps Regionals Momentum in 4-3 Win over Adelphi

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – Returning to dual meet action on Wednesday afternoon, The University of New Haven women's tennis team continued its momentum from the ITA Regionals with a 4-3 win over Adelphi, a team that was among two others tied with the Chargers in 2023 for the Northeast-10 Conference regular season title. With the decision, New Haven improves to 3-0 on the season.

The regions top doubles pair of Valentinna Ferrarini (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) and Karim Carreras (Asuncion, Paraguay/Colegio Bautista de Villa Morra) continued their dominance from the weekend with a 6-1 decision top open up doubles play with a victory. The Chargers would go on to win all three doubles matches with Risako Umekuni (Saitama, Japan/Shumei Eiko) and Victoria Togores (Canary Islands, Spain/Colegio Hispano Ingles) earning a 6-2 decision at No. 2 doubles, while Laura Ortner (Schlierbach, Austria/BRG Kirchdorf) and Leni Bischof (Aigen, Austria/BRG Stainach) completed the sweep with a7-5 win at No. 3 doubles.

Togores kept her doubles momentum into singles action with a sweep at the No. 4 position, not surrendering a set to the Panthers Caterina Federici. With the Panthers taking the victories at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, the Chargers would need to secure two more points to remain unbeaten on the season.

The tightest matchup of the day would come at the No. 3 match-up of Umekuni and Roisin Boyd. After surrendering the opening set 6-2 to Boyd, Umekuni forced a third-set tie breaker with a 6-4 win in set two only to battle to victory with a 6-2 match-winning set three.

With that victory in place and the first four singles matches in the books, the final deciding point would come down to No. 6 singles and Agustina Ravera (Miramar, Fla./Broward Virtual School) who answered the call with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Genesis Beltran.

The Chargers will continue their fall season with the first of three matches in four days with a visit to Manchester, N.H. to take on Saint Anselm on Saturday, September 21. First serve against the Hawks is set for 1:00 p.m. at the Saint Anselm Tennis Courts.
