Women's Tennis: Taking it to the topHeading into the spring portion of its season, the Yale women's tennis team has demonstrated its ability to win over top teams by indisputable margins, amassing a 9-1 record. Recent 9-0 victories over Massachusetts and Seton Hall exhibit its potential to lead the Ivy League during the coming weeks.In an effort to maintain their winning ways, the Bulldogs sent four top players to the Princeton Invitational last weekend. Yale doubles teammates Jacklyn Fu, MC '00, and team captain Sara Naison-Phillips, BK '99, won the doubles draw that included players from Columbia, Seton Hall, Princeton, and Boston College. The Bulldogs also placed well in the singles draw, with Somer Khanlarian, SY '99, advancing to the semifinals and Andrea Goldberg, TD '02, reaching the finals of the consolation draw. "We've never gotten more than two people into the singles draw before," Naison-Phillips said. "The fact that we got four [players] in speaks for the depth of our team." A successful season seems sure to follow from the tournament if the Elis can maintain their focus from the beginning of the season--and they clearly have the talent to carry them through. "I feel like this is the best the team has been since I have been at Yale," Naison-Phillips said.
