In a weekend that saw the start of conference play for the Binghamton women’s tennis team and the Bearcats’ only home matches of the season, BU acquired a 1-2 America East record, falling to Albany 4-3 on Friday and Stony Brook 4-0 on Saturday before sweeping Hartford 7-0 Saturday afternoon.

In Friday’s conference opener at Albany, the Great Danes picked up a pair of wins in doubles to secure the point, which proved to be the difference after BU and Albany split in singles play. Freshmen Alexis Tashiro and Sara Kohtz garnered their second straight singles wins, and sophomore Missy Edelblum was the other singles winner for BU on the day. Kohtz and Edelblum also paired up for the Bearcats’ lone victory in doubles play.

On Saturday, Binghamton (4-14) returned home to the newly renovated Bearcats Sports Complex tennis courts and opened play against Stony Brook. The Bearcats fell quickly to the Seawolves, dropping the doubles point and all six singles matches, failing to push any of their singles matches beyond two sets.

Binghamton recovered later that afternoon with a sweep of Hartford. The Bearcats garnered the doubles point with a pair of 8-2 wins from the duos of Tashiro and sophomore Katherine Medianik, and Kohtz and senior Jessie Rubin. Binghamton then took all six singles matches in two sets. Rubin, the team’s lone senior, highlighted the outing with a perfect 6-0, 6-0 straight set win, her first singles victory of the season.

The Bearcats are set to play a pair of matches this weekend, facing off against UMBC at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Retriever Tennis Complex and Temple at 1 p.m. Sunday at the TU Pavilion.
