LEXINGTON, Va. – In celebration of their lone senior,
Meagan Donovan, the No. 13 Washington and Lee women's tennis team swept Oberlin, 7-0, on Saturday afternoon in non-conference action.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Donovan contributed to two of the team points in the win, as she and first-year
Greer Webb teamed up for a 6-0 win over Scarlett Kingston and Eva Lopez at No. 3 doubles. Donovan later went on to nearly shut Hannah Soong out, as she posted a 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 6 singles.
Juniors
Lauren Long and
Grace Lorenz turned in the same score at No. 1 as Donovan and Webb to claim the doubles point, while first-years
