Kenyon doubles up Haverford in spring break opener

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Kenyon College women's tennis team got its spring-break schedule started Wednesday morning with a 6-3 victory over Haverford College in neutral-site play at the USTA National Campus.

The Owls gave themselves a running start by sweeping doubles play. Lalasa Nagireddy and Natalie Connelly put up the most convincing win, taking the No. 3 doubles bout by an 8-4 final over Haverford's pairing of Abhishree Menon and Summer Williams.

In the other two doubles matches, both Kenyon teams won a tiebreaker to take the match. At No. 1, Eleni Lazaridou and Eleni Dakos held on for an 8-7 (8-6) win, while at No. 2, Erika Pontillo and Allaire Berl claimed an 8-7 (7-5) victory.

When singles play commenced, the teams split the six matches. Kenyon got another win from Connelly at No. 7. She topped Sriya Krishnan 6-1, 7-6 (7-4). Lazaridou and Berl also came through for the Owls in singles play. Lazaridou handled Abbey Russano, 6-0, 6-1 at No. 1, while Berl whipped up a 6-1, 6-2 win over Ellie Esterowitz in the No. 2 match.

The team win improved the No. 27-ranked Owls' record to 4-1. On the other side of the court, Haverford slipped to 0-2. 

Kenyon will slide over to Lake Cane Tennis Center on Thursday to next take on No. 11-ranked Carnegie Mellon University at noon.
