Stachtiaris dropped her first singles match to Nicole Pontee.

The women's tennis team was back in action Saturday morning, taking on Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. The Violets fell to the Brewers, 9-0.

NYU's top two singles players, Liz Stachtiaris and Liz Feldman, had been playing very well recently but both were defeated by their respective opponents. Stachtiaris fell to Nicole Pontee, 6-0, 6-2, while Feldman lost to Jennifer Beckerman, 6-2, 6-0.

In doubles, NYU's tandem of Feldman and Lena Krups was competitive, but ultimately fell to Beckerman and Nicole Block, 8-6.
