AMERICA EAST RELEASE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

COLUMBIA, MD.-<\/strong> The No. 5 seed University at Albany women\u2019s tennis team (10-13) fell 4-2 in the America East\u00a0Quarterfinals to No. 4 seed UMBC on Friday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe responded so well to the challenge of winning a high pressure match with only five players,\u201d said head coach Gordon Graham<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cWe just needed a couple of points in a few matches to go the other way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In doubles, the Great Danes ceded the No. 3 match because of a lack of players, and looked to get back on track in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots. Mireille Hermans<\/a> and Alba Sala<\/a> dropped the No. 1 match 8-6 to seal the doubles point for UMBC.<\/span><\/p>\n

After forfeiting the No. 6 singles slot, the Retrievers took a 2-0 lead. Rocio Lopez made her America East season debut in the No. 5 spot, taking her match 6-2, 6-1 to put the Great Danes within one. Sala rebounded from her doubles match to take No. 3 singles, 6-4, 6-1 and tie the score at two.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Purple & Gold won two singles matches in straight sets, but needed to win two of the last three singles contests. After falling 6-1 in the opening set at No. 1, Mireille Hermans<\/a> fought back to send the second set to a tiebreak, but lost 6-1, 7-6(5). Kirsten Scott<\/a> battled to a first set tiebreak 7-6(1) before dropping the second set 7-5. The No. 2 singles victory gave UMBC the victory, 4-2, suspending the No. 4 match.<\/span><\/p>\n
