CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Richmond Spider women's tennis team (12-7) was stopped in the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 Women's Tennis Championship by UMass Saturday at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The Minutewoman used a 4-0 triumph to advance to Sunday's finals against VCU.
No. 3 seed UMass (17-4) was able to take the doubles point and never relinguished the early lead. With a 7-2 lead on court one, Richmond's Melissa Kandinata and Anna Abadias rallied for three straight games, but eventually fell to Ana Yrazusta and Carol Benito, 8-5, at top doubles. UMass then won at number 2, 3 and 5 singles to clinch the match.
UMass last appeared in the A-10 Championship in 2012 when the Minutewomen were defeated by the Spiders, 4-3.
