The New York University women's tennis team competed at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast Regional Championships on Sunday, September 28, in Geneva, NY.

In doubles, the pair of Laila El Dessouki and Carmen Lai continued their winning ways. The duo won their quarterfinals match 8-4 and then earned an 8-5 victory in the semifinals to qualify for the finals match on Monday.

In singles, Madeline King and Alison Wang were both ousted in the round of 16.

"Both singles matches were competitive and King and Wang played well despite slow starts," said Head Coach Horace Choy. "El Dessouki and Lai played extremely well in both matches. They came out quickly and held their leads throughout. They look forward to competing in the finals tomorrow."
