Colby Tops Women’s Tennis, 9-0

WATERVILLE, Maine — The Endicott women's tennis team fell to Colby, 9-0, on Sunday evening at the Alfond-Wales Tennis Courts.

In doubles, Colby seized early momentum and never looked back.

Endicott's No. 1 pairing Ripley Uyeda (Ranchos Palos Verdes, Calif.) / Lejla Guster (Wethersfield, Conn.) showed plenty of grit against the Mules' top duo, but Colby came away with the 8-4 victory.
