Women's Tennis Loses 6-3 Contest at Salisbury

Alix Dry won twice for the Ducks.

SALISBURY, Md. (March 9, 2023) – First-year Alix Dry picked up two wins as the Stevens Institute of Technology women's tennis team fell to Salisbury 6-3 in a non-conference match Saturday.

The loss ends a two-game winning streak for Stevens, who dropped to 3-3 on the season. The Ducks are now 0-3 all-time against Salisbury. The Seagulls improved to 4-1.

Stevens once again had a successful day on doubles as they won two of the three matches. First-year Lorena Piegas and senior Polina Odintseva picked up an 8-7 win on line one, as they took the tiebreaker, 7-2. Dry and junior Isaballa Dona then won 8-6 on the second line to give Stevens a 2-1 advantage.

Despite the strong start on doubles, Salisbury rattled off five of the six singles matches to take the match, with five of the six matches going to three sets. The Ducks trailed 6-2 until Dry completed the match with a three-set win on the first line to propel the Ducks to victory.
