CMS Pulls Out a Tough 5-4 Win over Colorado College

CMS battled hard to finish off Colorado College 5-4 in a match that was postponed two and a half hours due to rain earlier Sunday morning.   The Athenas made the best of gusty winds and difficult playing conditions to take a 2-1 lead after doubles with a win at number one by Jessica Fox (Sr. - Castlerock, CO)  / Hannah Kornfeld (So. – Larkspur, CA) and at number three by Alle Hsu (So. – Newport Coast, CA) / Caroline Daly (Fr. - Seattle, WA [pictured right]).

Jessica Fox at number 3 singles and Sara Reed (Fr. – New York, NY) at number 4 singles closed out their matches in straight sets.   The most impressive comeback of the season took place at number 1 singles when Elisa La Cava (Sr. – Woodinville, WA) rallied from an  0-6, 1-4 deficit to win the second set 7-6 (7-3).  She went on to win the third set super tie-break 11-9 after being down 2-9.  Her victory takes her to her sixth singles win of the season.  The Athenas take on Lewis & Clark College Monday, March 23 at 2:00pm and Gustavus Adolphus College, Wednesday March 25 at 5:00pm.
