The Shippensburg University women's tennis team ventured up to Blair County on Friday night and came away with a 7-0 victory against Penn State Altoona in a match that was held indoors due to weather conditions.
 
Shippensburg (5-7) got started with three impressive doubles wins that gave the Raiders the early 1-0 advantage. Corinne Markovich and Jade Miller won 6-1 at No. 1 doubles; Ava Kalist and Yasmin De Meyer won 6-1 at No. 2 doubles, and Taylor Maguire and Janelle Kingsboro won 6-2 at No. 3 doubles.
 
Miller put SU up 2-0 with a quick win at No. 3 singles, winning one and zero over Sienna Fell. Markovich was the next Raider victory, claiming a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 1 singles.
 
The win became official when De Meyer won 6-1, 7-6 (8-6) at No. 2 singles to give Shippensburg a 4-0 lead.
 
Due to the indoor match being limited to three courts, the No. 4 through No. 6 singles matches then rotated in when surfaces became available. Brinley Orris posted a quick victory at No. 5 singles – like Miller, she also posted a one and zero win over her opponent.
 
Rachel Gallagher went into extra points in a tiebreaker but came out on the right end of a long match at No. 4 singles. Gallagher won 6-2, 4-6, 11-9.
 
Kalist wrapped up the night for Shippensburg with a 6-1, 6-2 win at No. 6 singles.
 
Shippensburg's home match versus Lock Haven scheduled for Saturday has been postponed and re-scheduled for Thursday, April 9.
 
SU's next time out will be at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Bloomsburg for what becomes the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division opener.
