Pasadena, CA – The #33 Vassar College Women's Tennis team continued its California spring trip Tuesday with a 7-2 defeat at #21 CalTech. Sophomore Erin McCusker (Norton, MA) and First Year Maddie Kirby (Davidson, NC) each won singles matches for the Brewers.
 
Tuesday's defeat drops Vassar to 2-3 overall on the season, while the Beavers improve to 2-0 through their first two contests of the spring.
 
Doubles
  • Although the Beavers swept the three doubles matches, Vassar's top two pairs dropped tight, hard fought decisions.
  • The top pair of McCusker and Macey Dowd (Orinda, CA) were outlasted by the Beavers' Hannah Ramsperger and Anna Tanaaka by a score of 7-8 (4-7).
  • At second doubles, the duo of Kirby and Iris Li (Palo Alto, CA) were edged by a score of 5-8.
 
Singles
  • McCusker had another marathon match in singles, overcoming a 3-6 first set loss to Emily Zhang before battling to take the match with 7-6 (7-4), 1-0 (10-8) victories. The singles win improved McCusker to 4-1 on the season at the top flight.
  • Kirby continued a strong start to her Vassar career on Tuesday after earning a tough 7-5, 6-4 victory at the fourth position to move to 3-2 in singles play on the season.
 
What's Next
