NYU Defeats William Smith to Move to 8-0

NYU Defeats William Smith to Move to 8-0

From NYU Athletics

The still-unbeaten #21 ranked New York University women's tennis team did it again on Sunday, April 15, when they defeated William Smith College 8-1 in Geneva, NY.

Even though they had less than a day's rest following Saturday's 9-0 sweep of the University of Rochester, the Violets (8-0) continued their quality play, dropping only one match to the Herons (8-5). 

The Violets held nothing back as they swept the doubles round. Flyora Shiyanova and Vanessa Scott at #1 and Anna Maria Buraya and Coco Kulle at #2 dominated their opponents en route to 8-2 and 8-1 wins, respectively. Rupa Ganesh and Judy Kam had more of a challenge at #3, but it was nothing they couldn't handle as they took the match 8-6. 

The Violets went into the singles round with the same energy and ferocity they had in doubles. Everyone played well on Sunday, most notably Kulle (#2), who held her opponent to just a single win (6-1, 6-0), and Kam (#6), who made quick her work in matchup as well (6-1, 6-2). 

"The women continue their strong play this season," said Head Coach Horace Choy. "They took care of business with a strong start at doubles and carried it into singles."
