In losses to UMBC and Temple this weekend, the Binghamton women’s tennis team failed to earn a point before its opponent clinched the match victory.
The Bearcats (4-16) lost the doubles point and four consecutive singles matches against host UMBC en route to a 5-2 loss on Saturday at the UMBC Tennis Complex.
The Retrievers (3-14) claimed all three doubles matches to win the point before nabbing the first four singles decisions. With the loss, BU finishes its conference season with a 1-3 record.
Sophomore Katherine Medianik earned a tight victory from No. 1 singles, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6), and freshman Sara Kohtz delivered again with a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 win from No. 3 singles.
In their regular season finale Sunday afternoon, the Bearcats struggled again in their 6-1 loss to Temple at TU Pavilion. The Owls (9-13) swept the three doubles matches and took five of six singles matches.
Kohtz was the only Bearcat to earn a point after rallying in the third set to secure a 6-3, 0-6, 6-4 victory from No. 3 singles. The freshman has won five of her last six matches to finish the regular season 13-12 overall.
With the regular season in the rear-view mirror, the Bearcats will now turn their focus on the upcoming America East Championship. BU is set to head to Baltimore, Md., for the three-day event, scheduled to begin on April 26 at the UMBC Tennis Complex.
