Women's Box Score

West Chester, Pa. - Millersville's women's tennis team had gone a decade since winning a match in the PSAC Team Championship--until Tuesday afternoon. The Marauders defeated West Chester, 5-4, to advance to the PSAC Team Championship Semifinals in the team's first PSAC Team Championship win since 2002-03.

Millersville got started in doubles play against the Golden Rams, taking two of the three matches. The tandem of Melissa Plowman and Kelsey Waite got the team started with an 8-0 shutout of Brittany Counts and Alison Fetter. Nicole Daacke and Alexandra Heller picked up the second win of the day for the team with an 8-5 victory over Jessica Marascio and Heather Hidalgo, moving the teams to singles play with the Marauders holding a 2-1 advantage.

The Marauders fell into a hole in the singles play, as the Golden Rams won the first three matches that finished. Those three losses left Millersville staring at a 4-2 disadvantage, but the away team wouldn't go away. The team came back strong with three consecutive victories to pull off the upset.

Plowman got the team back in the win column, defeating Counts by twin scores of 6-3, 6-3. Tori Davis finished next, scoring a two-set victory over Haley Wissinger by tallies of 7-6, 6-2.
