Post University Tops Griffins in Season-Opening CACC Contest

Siqueira & Covic
Box Score | Waterbury, Conn. - (9/22/2018) – Singles wins from junior Mia Covic (Novi Sad, Serbia) and senior Daniela Siqueira (Sao Paulo, Brazil) were not enough to deliver a victory for Chestnut Hill College in today's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) match as Post University used a doubles win and four individual victories to post a 5-2 victory.
 
After a 6-0 Post University (3-2, 1-0) win at number three doubles, Chestnut Hill College (0-1, 0-1) evened the score thanks to a 6-1 number two doubles win from Covic and fellow junior Barbara Broville (Toulouse, France). Unfortunately, the deciding team point fell in the home team's favor as senior Julia Bellon (Indaiatuba, Brazil) and Siqueira eventually lost the fight at number two doubles, 7-6 (3).
 
The Griffins aimed to recover in singles play, but the Eagles added points at number three singles, 6-2, 6-0, and number five singles, 6-0, 6-1, to lead 3-0 before Chestnut Hull College got on the scoreboard. Covic captured the first Scarlet and Gold point with her 6-0, 6-0, dominance at number one singles. Unfortunately, the Eagles took number six singles, 1-6, 6-1, 10-4, and number two singles, 6-3, 6-4, leaving Siqueira's 6-4, 6-2 number four singles win in vain.
 
Chestnut Hill College returns to action Wednesday, September 26, when they visit Jefferson for a 3:30 p.m. CACC match.
