Three Violets won their singles matches, but the New York University women's tennis team fell to Salisbury University 6-3 on Saturday afternoon in Salisbury, MD.

Sophomore Lena-Sophie Krups  notched the first win for the Violets with a straight-set defeat of her opponent in the #5 singles match before sophomore Lisa Mijovic followed suit and won 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 in the #4 match. After dropping the first set 1-6 to Kelly Fahrner, NYU sophomore Elizabeth Feldman rebounded to win her final two sets 6-3, 6-1.

Ranked #17 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Northeast Region, the Violets drop to 1-5 on the season, while Salisbury, ranked #6 regionally, improves to 2-0.

“We improved from last year,” noted head coach Horace Choy, “but we still need to get better.”
