BOX SCORE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.- The fourth-seeded Immaculata women's tennis team (9-9) played in their first conference postseason since 2005 as they took on the top-seeded Gwynedd Mercy Griffins (16-2), and the Griffins locked up a spot in the CSAC Championship with a 6-1 victory that ended the Mighty Macs season.  For the year, Immaculata went 9-9 overall with a 7-3 record in conference play.

In doubles, Gwynedd Mercy claimed all three to take early control of the match. In first doubles, freshman Lauren Degnan and junior Paige Sparks fell 8-1, while senior Theresa Martini and sophomore Kara Trowbridge lost 8-3 in second doubles.  In the third doubles position, freshman Annaliese Kambouroglos and junior Pattie McGinley trailed 7-4, but battled back in the next two games to cut the deficit to one until Gwynedd Mercy wrapped up the 8-6 victory.

In singles, senior Julie Einwechter won by retirement in the fifth spot after an injury.  Kambouroglos was battling in the fourth position, tied in the first set, but the match was called as the Griffins got to the required point amount with wins at the first, second, and third spots.

Gwynedd Mercy will go on to the championship to take on the winner of Cabrini and Marywood.
