WTEN: DOLPHINS CLAIM FIRST CONFERNCE VICTORY OF THE FALL.

SYRACUSE, NY – Just four days into the fall session of the 2009-10 season, the Le Moyne women’s tennis team claimed their first NE-10 Conference victory with a 5-4 decision over Merrimack on Saturday. In evening their record to 1-1, the Dolphins move to 1-0 in league play. The match was the first for the Warriors as they drop to 0-1 on the young season.

Le Moyne was led by seniors Tirzah Walrath (Cortland, NY / Cortland) and Marielle Artessa (Syracuse, NY / Henninger) as they claimed singles and doubles victories. Walrath was a winner in #1 singles in straight sets and teamed up with fellow senior Allison Cohen (Fayetteville, NY / Jamesville-DeWitt) for an 8-2 victory in doubles.

Artessa needed three sets to prevail, but was a 9-7 winner in doubles along side Caroline Tisdell (Syracuse, NY / CBA). Le Moyne’s third singles victory came from freshman Rebecca Black (Palmyra, NY / Palmyra-Macedon) who picked up her first career singles victory in her first singles match.

Le Moyne returns to action on Sunday, September 13th for their final home match of the fall before the ITA Regionals as they host St. Michael’s at 10:00 a.m.
