PEPPER PIKE, Ohio – The Geneva women's tennis program got back in the win column on Tuesday afternoon, defeating Ursuline College 7-0 to earn the sweep. After the Golden Tornadoes dropped their two matches last week, today's victory was an important momentum-builder as the team enters conference play. It was the GTs' third sweep of the season and bumps their record up to 3-2 on the year.

Geneva began by dominating the Arrows in doubles play, getting victories in all three flights. Sophomore Chloe DeSanzo and senior Lauren Estes started things off with a 6-1 victory in No. 1 doubles, followed by a 6-0 sweep by junior Rachel Hodsden and senior CeJaelyn Perednia in the No. 2 spot. Senior Jenna Allison and freshman Paige Phillips rounded out the doubles victories by taking the third flight match handily, 6-2.

DeSanzo stayed hot in No. 1 singles, winning her matchup 6-0, 6-0. It is her fifth consecutive singles victory to start the season, and her eighth straight dating back to last season. Estes coasted to a 6-2, 6-2 win in the No. 2 spot, and Hodsden hung on in the second set of her No. 3 singles match to come out on top 6-0, 6-4.

Perednia played in the No. 4 spot for Geneva today, nabbing the win 6-3, 6-0. Freshman Abigail Anderson continued her strong play in No. 5 singles with a 6-1, 6-0 victory, and junior Caroline Reed finished out the day by winning the No. 6 singles match 6-2, 6-3.
