Ravens back in action Monday at AIC

RINDGE, N.H. (April 7, 2012) – The Franklin Pierce University women's tennis team was defeated, 9-0, by Adelphi in Northeast-10 Conference play at Franklin Pierce on Saturday afternoon.

With the loss, Franklin Pierce falls to 2-9 (2-8 Northeast-10), while Adelphi improves to 16-3 (11-0 Northeast-10).

All six Adelphi players collected wins in both doubles and singles play, led by junior Maria Toft, who was bettered in just two games over the course of wins at both first doubles and first singles. In doubles play, she teamed with freshman Joanna Haich to sweep to an 8-0 win before breezing to a 6-1, 6-1 win in singles play.
