ALTOONA, Pa. – The Geneva College women's tennis team traveled to Penn State Altoona on Saturday afternoon without sophomore Chloe DeSanzo, one of the top players in the conference, and her absence was felt as the Golden Tornadoes lost, 5-2. Geneva is now 4-5 overall.
In doubles play, senior CeJaelyn Perednia and junior Rachel Hodsden won 6-4 in No. 2 doubles, but Altoona took the other two matches to win the doubles point.
Senior Lauren Estes easily won No. 1 singles 6-2, 6-0. Freshman Paige Phillips also won in No. 6 singles 6-2, 6-2. Freshman Abigail Anderson took her match in No. 4 singles to three sets before falling.
Geneva's schedule stays tough as the women travel to Saint Vincent on Monday for a 4:00 p.m. match with the Bearcats.
