WASHINGTON, Pa. – The Geneva College women's tennis teams knew it had a difficult challenge ahead of it when it traveled to Washington & Jefferson on Wednesday for a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) matchup, and W&J proved better in every way on this night, sweeping the Golden Tornadoes, 9-0.  W&J improved to 4-5 overall, 3-1 in the PAC, while Geneva fell to 4-4, 2-3 in the PAC.

W&J won all three doubles matches to start things off, with senior Jana Newberry (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) and sophomore Mady Paquet (Ellsworth, Wisc./Ellsworth) losing a tight match in #3 doubles, 8-6.
