The doubles team of senior Madeline Carswell (Bethlehem/Bethlehem Central) and junior Maxie Karen (New York, NY/The Clinton School) came out on top in first position followed by the second flight seniors Rebecca Macdonald (Brooklyn/Leon M. Goldstein) and Olivia Fraser (Queensbury/Queensbury) with each team tallying an 8-4 wins.  These two victories secured a 2-1 lead going into the singles play.

Singles was dramatic on all courts beginning with Fraser in the number one position taking the match 6-1, 6-3 as she came back from 3-2 down in the second set to clinch victory.  The Red Dragons then went onto claim their fourth win that came from Karen who got her second win on the day in fifth singles chalking up a score 6-3, 6-2 in a match of very long rallies.  From there Oneonta needed just one more win to secure dual match superiority and that came from sophomore Julia Holtermann (Staten Island/Curtis) who got the call today in the sixth spot.  With her teammates from both the men and the women cheering her on Holtermann played with great nerve and won the first set in tiebreaker having to serve from behind throughout that set.  The second set Holtermann went on the attack and played with some more confidence and went ahead 5-1.  She held four-match points and could not convert and needed two more games to finally close out her victory for both Holtermann and the Red Dragon women.  Both men's and women's teams mobbed her after the match was over to congratulate her and to close out this five-hour marathon.

The Women's Tennis Team go back out on the road to take on the SUNY Oswego Lakers in Oswego on Saturday, April 9th with action getting underway at 1 PM.  This will be the first SUNYAC match of the spring and only the second one on the 2021/22 campaign.   The Red Dragons look to go 2-0 in conference after Saturday.
