Women's Tennis Breaks Victory Drought with 5-4 Win

In senior Patty Santiago's last match, Schreiner Women's Tennis broke a long ASC West Division losing drought with a 5-4 win over visiting Concordia-Austin.  Santiago had a big hand in the win with victories at both #1 doubles and at #4 singles. 

Schreiner jumped to a lead after doubles play.  Santiago and Stephanie Reed posted an 8-5 win in their doubles match and the freshmen duo of Katrina Priess and Amanda Alvarado cruised to an 8-1 win at #2 doubles.  SU forfeited the match at #3 doubles because it didn't have enough players.  Still, the Mountaineers held a 2-1 lead going into singles action.

Priess won at #1 singles, 6-1, 6-4, which offset a loss at #2 singles by Reed who was injured and forced to retire early in the match.  Schreiner bounced back with a win by Alvarado (6-2, 6-0) at #3 singles and wrapped up the win when Santiago posted a 6-0, 6-1 win in her match.

SU's last ASC West win was in 2004, also against Concordia-Austin.  Just like the 2007 win, Schreiner had to post the victory short-handed.  SU finishes its season with a record of 1-14 (1-6 in ASC West).
