GENEVA, NY – Playing at the ITA Northeast Regional tournament for just the second time in program history, the Mount Saint Mary College women's tennis team is putting in a nice showing.

Freshman Gabriela Murphy-Goldberg (Newburgh, N.Y.) eased through a first round match with Laura Brantley of Hamilton College. Murphy-Goldberg pulled out a tight first set, 6-4, and then cruised in the second set, 6-1. In the second round, Murphy-Goldberg ran into Karisse Bendijo of the College of New Jersey. The Mount Saint Mary freshman held her own, eventually falling, 6-4, 6-3.

In doubles action, Murphy-Goldberg and freshman Emily Gregory (Albertson, N.Y.) were bounced in the first round by the eighth seeded team from Skidmore College (8-6). Dropped to the consolation bracket, the Mount duo held on for an 8-5 victory over Sage, an eventual opponent inside the Skyline Conference. Trailing 7-5 in the next round, they had to retire during a match with St. Lawrence due to injury.

The Blue Knights will return to dual match action on Wednesday, September 30 as they travel to Ramapo College. The match is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
