After a three-month break from play, the Binghamton women’s tennis team hit the court at West Point over the weekend. Scheduled to face Army, Sacred Heart and Seton Hall, the Bearcats only saw two of the three opponents due to weather conditions barring Seton Hall from traveling to the event.
In the first match against host Army, juniors Sara Kohtz and Agatha Ambrozy took victories over their Army opponents, 6-1, 6-3 and 6-2, 6-1, respectively. But with Army taking the other four single sets, BU was left only with the doubles matches for a chance to start its season in the win column. In the doubles matches, juniors Shea Brodsky and Alexis Tashiro took the first victory, 6-2, but BU would lose the doubles series against the Black Knights, losing the match, 5-2.
Against Sacred Heart on Saturday, Binghamton found its first victory of the season, 6-1. With Kohtz, Tashiro, Ambrozy and sophomore Annie DiMuro each taking match victories, the Bearcats fared well in the match’s singles round. In the doubles round, BU took two of three, as Kohtz and DiMuro, along with their respective partners, senior Katherine Medianik and freshman Olga Ostrovetsky took victories against the Pioneers.
The Bearcats are set to return home to face Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
