BROOKLYN, NY— The York College women's tennis team suffered its second straight heartbreaking defeat, as they fell to Brooklyn College—who are unbeaten in CUNY Athletic Conference play—by a score of 5-4 on Monday afternoon, in what was a completion of suspended game from October 3.
York fell behind 2-1 after doubles play with its lone win once again coming at #3 doubles, where
Tenzin Kunchok and
Anna Ko were 8-1 winners over BC's Hadiya Cameron and Maria Sanz. The tandem is now an impressive 4-0 on the season.
Needing to win four-of-six singles matches to take the contest, York came up one match short, splitting singles play.
Nicole Jones won in a third-set tie break over Brooklyn's Liana Rivkin by a score of 6-2, 2-6, 11-9 at second singles. Ko (7-5, 6-3) and Kunchok (7-6, 6-2) also won their singles matches at #5 and #6 respectively. The Bulldogs took the other three singles matches in straight sets, however, to clinch the victory.
Brooklyn improves to 9-2, 6-0 in the CUNYAC, while York drops to 7-7, 4-3 in the CUNYAC. The Cardinals will host John Jay on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
