WORCESTER, Mass. (September 26, 2021) - Stonehill College, ranked No. 2 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II East Regional rankings, held back a stern challenge from Assumption College for a 4-3 victory in Northeast-10 Conference women's tennis action at the Assumption Tennis Courts this afternoon.

The Details

Senior captains Samantha Ormesher and Emma Markaryan led the double-winners for Stonehill. Junior Lily Peter joined the captains as a double-winner as well.
