The women’s tennis squad secured its third win of the 2020 season in Providence, New Jersey against the Seton Hall Pirates 5-2. They won by the same score last year.

The doubles pairs secured an early lead for Fordham, as junior Arina Taluyenko and freshman Weronica Pociej combined to get a 6-2 win in the second doubles spot. In first doubles, freshman Avery Aude and sophomore Genevieve Quenville also dominated 6-2. 

Moving on to singles, Taluyenko seemed to like the 6-2 combination, winning both sets by that score at the number one spot. Sophomore Valeria Deminova battled, but eventually lost in second doubles 7-5, 5-7, 6-1, and senior Maia Balce went down 6-4, 7-5 in the number three spot. Fourth, fifth, and sixth doubles meant success for the Rams: Aude won 2-6, 6-1, 1-0 (11-9), and Pociej won 6-4, 6-4, while the number six spot was a default win. 

The Rams will travel back to New Jersey this weekend, playing New Jersey Institute of Technology at 4 p.m. on Friday in Newark.
