The University of Richmond women's tennis team has found that out this season, suffering some nagging injuries and the Spiders dropped their second consecutive match, 4-2 to East Carolina, with some injuries to some of their key players.
“I'm feeling about the changes we've made in the doubles combos and that was evident today,” Head Coach Mark Wesselink said. “We're still not at 100-percent health wise, but we're getting closer as we head into Atlantic 10 matches.”
Richmond won the doubles point to start the day with Gaby Rosales and Ana Ramirez teaming up to win 6-4 at the second doubles spot, followed by Anna Abadias Morales and Emily Gitman teaming up to win, 6-4 at the third doubles spot and earn the point for the Spiders.
Abadias Morales kept her strong play going in singles action with a straight set victory over ECU's Nicole LaDuca at the second spot in the singles lineup, but the Pirates were able to come away with victories in the other singles matches to earn the 4-2 victory.
