Women's Tennis Loses Again But Garrow Still Perfect

Fredonia topped Oswego State 5-4 in SUNYAC action today.  The host Blue Devils were all square with the Lakers after the first eight matches of the day.  That meant the decision of the match-up was riding squarely on the shoulders of Fredonia sophomore Calee Prindle and Oswego State junior Christine Burkhardt.

Burkhardt took the first set in a tie-breaker to give the Lakers the early advantage.  However, Prindle won the second set in convincing fashion, 6-2.  The third and deciding set proved to be much closer, but Prindle outlasted Burkhardt for the 7-5 victory, handing the Lakers their second-straight one-match loss.

Laker junior Tiarra Garrow (pictured) remained unbeaten (5-0) in No. 1 singles with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Anne Norris.  Oswego State senior Sarahjeane Marhone remained unbeaten (5-0) in No. 5 singles with a 2-6, 6-1, 6-0 win over Megan Zarzycki.

Garrow is in search of her second SUNYAC singles title this season.  She won the conference championship as a freshman No. 3 single and was a semi-finalist as a sophomore No. 1 single.  Both feats were accomplished while Garrow was attending SUNY Plattsburgh, this is her first year as a Laker.  Her inspiring story can be found on the back page of this week's Oswegonian.
