The No. 2-seeded Binghamton women’s tennis team was upset by NJIT, 4-3, in the semifinal round of this weekend’s America East tournament championship.
Junior Katherine Medianik and sophomore Sara Kohtz captured the afternoon’s first match, 8-2, but BU surrendered the final two doubles matches, 8-6 and 8-4.
In singles matches, Binghamton and NJIT split the six down the middle. Sophomore Agatha Ambrozy took her match in straight sets of 6-2,6-0, and Kohtz followed with a 6-1,6-0 win for her 18th of the season. Sophomore Alexis Tashiro grabbed a victory in the third singles, 6-7(3),6-4,6-1. But the extra doubles win pulled the first-year AE members ahead in the tournament and put an end to Binghamton’s season.
The Bearcats finished the season with an 8-11 dual record and will return all nine starters for the 2015 season.
