Mullane and Markarian Highlight NEWITTs

The Gordon College Women's Tennis team continued its fall season by competing at the New England Women's Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament this past weekend. The event was co-hosted by Mount Holyoke and Smith in Massachusetts. The four brackets: A, B, C, and D. The format included duos from the respective schools who played two singles and one doubles match against each other, with the winners of the best two-of-three format advancing to the next round. The singles were played with two regular sets and a tiebreaker set in the third if necessary, while doubles was one pro-set.

The Fighting Scots team of Anna Mullane and Meli Markarian won the 'D' bracket, topping Smith's Ashley Felix (Fr./El Paso, Tex.) and Kara Van Allen (Sr./Kalamazoo, Mich.) in the first round and advancing to defeat Springfield's Juliette Piazza (So./Portland, Conn.) and Heidi Schuman (So./Averill Park, N.Y.). 

In the final against Clare O'Keefe (Jr./Lutz, Fla.) and Elsa Hillis (So.Georgetown, Texas) from Endicott and Smith, Gordon bested the duo to earn the championship in the bracket.

Next up for the Fighting Scots is a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Quarterfinal matchup on Wednesday, October 16 against Western New England at the Brigham Athletic Complex at 2 p.m.
