Foresters Defeat Rochester to Open Spring Break Trip

The Lake Forest College women's tennis team edged out the University of Rochester 4-3 on Sunday in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

The doubles point proved to be crucial and the Foresters earned it in dramatic fashion. Rochester won at #2 and the other two matches appeared to be headed for a split with Lake Forest junior Anika Kinnear and senior Olivia Pandazi leading 5-2 at #2 but junior Sofia Strupovets and sophomore Lilli Dockal trailing 5-1 at #1. Both contests were soon tied at five before the Forester tandems finished off 7-5 triumphs.

The top three singles matches were next and Lake Forest swept them to clinch the victory. Strupovets rolled 6-0, 6-1 at #1 and freshman Anya Mookencherry came out on top 7-5, 6-2 at #3. Dockal doubled up her opponent 6-3 in the first set at #2 but needed a tiebreaker to take the second 7-6 (7-2).

The Yellowjackets collected victories at the bottom three spots in the lineup with two of them coming in third set super tiebreakers.

The Foresters improved to 11-2 on the season while Rochester fell to 5-5.

Lake Forest will take on LeTourneau University Monday at 6:00 p.m. (ET)
