The Binghamton University women’s tennis team continued its slow start to the season over the weekend, managing five wins at the non-team-scoring Brown Invitational, which hosted teams from Boston University, Boston College and Rutgers University, alongside Binghamton and Brown.

On Friday, sophomore Missy Edelblum acquired Binghamton’s sole win of the day, topping Rutgers sophomore Satreethai Sasinin 6-0, 6-2.

With two days of play left ahead of them, the Bearcats looked to rebound strongly on Saturday, but were once again held to a single win. Binghamton freshman Sara Kohtz, who picked up her first career victory in her collegiate debut last weekend, captured her singles match against All-America East senior Jessi Linero of Boston University. Kohtz secured the victory in straight sets 6-2, 6-3.

The freshman returned to the courts on Sunday against Boston College freshman Katya Vasilyev, winning a hard-fought battle 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

Although Kohtz went 2-1 during the tournament, the Bearcats as a whole performed poorly in singles play, winning only four of the 13 matches in which they competed. The doubles teams did not fare much better, winning only one of their four matches.

Each Binghamton doubles team consisted of one freshman, mirroring head coach Libby McGovern’s game plan from the Columbia University Invitational last weekend, Sept. 14-16. The duo of freshman Shea Brodsky and sophomore Katherine Medianik was strong enough to overcome the Providence College team of Alana Prinos and Taylor Corder, winning 8-5 for the team’s sole doubles victory.

The Bearcats are set to return to action on Oct. 6 at the USTA National Tennis Center Invitational, a three-day event.
