The MAAC season opening re-match of last year's Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) quarterfinals between Marist and St. Peter's resulted in similar fashion. Last spring, the Red Foxes won decisively, 6-1.
On Feb. 11, 2007, they won even more decisively, 7-0.
Junior Erin Godly led the way winning first singles 6-0, 6-2. The inaugural women's tennis MAAC player of the week and the 2005 MAAC Rookie of the Year continued right where she left off the previous week versus Colgate where she won 6-0, 6-0 at third singles and 8-5 in doubles with classmate Christine Ong.
Ong took out her opponent, Angels Wiggs, 6-1, 6-1 at second singles. Ong teamed with Godly again in first doubles action and triumphed once more winning resoundingly, 8-2.
The closest match of the day came at third singles where senior Megan Gureck went the limit and then some with Kristy Bonner. After dropping the first set 1-6 to Bonner, Gureck took the second set 6-2. Drawn at one set apiece, their third set kept everyone on the edges of their seats. Bonner forced Gureck into tie-break after tie-break until Gureck finally finished on top, 13-11.
At fourth singles, Alexa Strange, a freshman from Valencia, Calif., topped the Peahens' Meredith Earley 6-0. 6-2. Mirelva Colon, the international flavor of this Marist team, won at fifth singles 6-1, 6-1. The sophomore from Puerto Rico defeated Jing Cheung.
Marist's second doubles team of Strange and sophomore Emily Zampello also won by a score of 8-2. Zampello at sixth singles and the third doubles team of Gureck and Colon won by forfeits.
The team heads to Binghamton for more road matches on Feb. 16. Fans of the Foxes will have to wait until Mar. 30 to see the ladies in action at home when they take on MAAC foe Rider.
