Women's Tennis Falls in UAA Quarterfinals

Violets Lose to Carnegie Mellon, 5-1

The sixth-seeded New York University women's tennis team opened the 2022 University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship by playing 11th-ranked and third-seeded Carnegie Mellon University in the Championship quarterfinals. The Violets opened the three-day event at Sanlando Park on Friday morning in Alamonte Springs, FL. 

The match began with doubles. NYU's first doubles team, Karina Jensrud and Anastasiia Balyk, fell 8-1 to the Tartans. Following Jensrud and Balyk was the No. 3 doubles team of Phoebe Su and Lynn Robinson losing by the same score, 8-1. However, Carol Plakk and Jimena Menendez came out on top at second doubles, 8-4, to keep the Violets in play.

However, Carnegie Mellon responded with three victories in singles play. Robinson fell 6-0, 6-1 at sixth singles, Balyk fell 6-0, 6-0 at No. 4 singles, and finally, Menendez lost a competitive match at third singles 6-4, 6-3. Having garnered the fifth win of the day, Carnegie Mellon was victorious 5-1.

The Violets will return to the court tomorrow, April 23, for the consolation semifinals against seventh-seeded Brandeis University at 12:30 pm.
