Oct 26 | Women's Tennis
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Rutgers tennis opened its weekend at UB Fall Invited hosted by the University at Buffalo on Friday. The Scarlet Knights won two of three doubles matches and four of seven singles matches against opponents from UConn.
"The team was hungry to play UConn today," said head coach Hilary Ritchie. "Last year, we had a tough loss to them where we felt as though we could have capitalized better on our opportunities. Today we were very strong in doubles, dominating the net."

Sophomore Maya Jacobs and junior Jaci Cochrane earned a victory over Jacquelyn Fitz-Randolph and Luciana Rabines by a margin of 6-4.
Freshmen Sydney Kaplan and Kristiana Zahare, Jacobs and Fisher all recorded singles wins.
Kaplan earned a deciding 6-3, 6-0 win over UConn's Cassie Chung, while Jacobs recorded a 6-1, 6-2 win over Fitz-Randolph. Fisher posted a 6-4, 6-2 victory against Bou, while Zahare battled to a 7-5, 6-3 (10-6) triumph over the Huskies' Elizabeth Kozyi.
