The George Washington tennis team completed its fall season with a strong showing at the CNU Invite, hosted by Christopher Newport. The event was highlighted by a 7-0 defeat of the host Captains on Friday, followed by 17 combined singles and doubles wins for GW in a round-robin event on Saturday.
GW's 7-0 win over CNU was kicked off by the duos of Victoria Sasinka/Solange Skeene (6-4) and Devika Manu/Laziza Talipova (6-2) securing the doubles point with wins in their respective matches. In singles, GW swept the slate, with Skeene (6-0, 6-2), Lee (5-7, 6-2, 1-0), Laura Damm (6-0, 6-3), Sasinka (6-3, 6-4), Manu (6-2, 6-0) and Talipova (3-6, 6-1, 1-0) each earning wins.
On Saturday, Damm/Alexandra Lindqvist went 2-0 in doubles, recording a 7-5 win over NC Central and a 6-0 victory over Christopher Newport. Sasinka/Skeene went 1-1 with a 6-0 win against the Captains, while Damm/Vaida Matuseviciute earned a 6-4 victory against CNU as well.
Saturday singles were headlined by three players going 2-0 for GW. Lindqvist finished with a quick 8-0 win over Christopher Newport, as well as a 7-5, 7-5 win against ECU. Talipova was perfect with a 6-3 win over NC Central and a 6-3, 6-3 win against East Carolina, while Manu grinded out a 3-6, 6-3, 11-9 dub over NCCU and a 7-5, 6-1 win over the Captains.
GW's singles success also included 1-0 days from Skeene (6-4, 6-4 over NCCU), Lee (6-2, 6-2 over NCCU), Verduzco (7-6, 6-3 over NCCU), Matuseviciute (8-2 over CNU) and Allison Snyder (6-2, 6-0 over CNU). Damm, Sasinka and Matuseviciute all had singles matches cut short due to retirement while they were leading, notably Damm's, who was serving for match point when her opponent pulled out.
