Perennial NJAC champ TCNJ sweeps women's tennis team

Box score
 
CAMDEN, N.J. (Sept. 6, 2018) – After collecting a historic season-opening victory Saturday with its first win ever against Stockton University, the Rutgers University-Camden women's tennis team was looking for a monumental upset here Thursday against perennial New Jersey Athletic Conference champion The College of New Jersey.
 
The Scarlet Raptors, like the rest of the NJAC throughout history, weren't able to pull off that task.
 
TCNJ, seeking its amazing 36th consecutive NJAC title this season, rolled to a 9-0 victory over Rutgers-Camden. The win raised the Lions' record to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the NJAC, while the Scarlet Raptors fell to 1-1 and 1-1.
 
Rutgers-Camden has been swept, 9-0, in all eight of its matches against TCNJ since the Raptors revived their women's tennis program in 2011.
 
The Lions swept all three doubles and all six singles matches. The closest match in double came in the third flight, where freshmen Hannah Cohan and Morgan Dempsey lost, 8-2. At first doubles, junior Danielle Lemma and freshman Tiffany Trivers dropped an 8-1 decision. Junior Aubrey Hawn and freshman LeAnne Hall were defeated at second doubles, 8-0.
 
Hall, at fourth singles, was the lone Raptor to take a game in both singles sets, losing, 6-1, 6-1. Hawn lost at first singles by a 6-0, 6-2 count, while Cohan was defeated at sixth singles, 6-2, 6-0. Lemma lost at second singles, 6-0, 6-1, while Trivers was defeated at third singles, 6-0, 6-0. At fifth singles, TCNJ won by Dempsey's retirement.
 
The Scarlet Raptors, ranked as the NJAC's "dark horse" team in a pre-season conference coaches' poll, have a big opportunity to make hay in the standings when they play a pair of road conference matches. They visit Ramapo College Saturday and Rutgers-Newark Sunday.
