QUINCY, Mass.—Gordon Women's Tennis picked up its first win of 2016 in style by beating Commonwealth Coast Conference rival Eastern Nazarene 9-0 at the ENC courts. Four of Gordon's six singles slots won both sets without dropping a game in the overall rout.

Kaelyn Hall (Sugar Land, Texas) and Maddie Berry (Paso Robles, Calif.) followed suit with an identical score at the second flight, before Gordon's top unit completed the doubles sweep 8-5.
Bean and Berry clinched the match for the Fighting Scots with quick 6-0, 6-0 results. Justine Hanson (Meadow Vista, Calif.) and Caron also notched shutouts.
Hall dropped only one game in the second set en route to a 6-0, 6-1 victory, while Abbie Denney (Peoria, Ariz.) fought off a first-set fight to win 7-5, 6-0.
