After finishing one of its best seasons to date, in which it
dominated opponents on the way towards a fourth straight
AMCC conference title, the women's tennis team finds itself
in a situation it has not been used to the last few years. The
Lions opened their season in the Allegheny Tournament on
Saturday with three straight losses, which is more than they
had all last year when they went 18-2.
In the first game against Carnegie Mellon, the Lions
dropped 10 straight sets in their singles matches, and then
dropped their doubles match 6-2, 6-2. Sophomore Jenny
Zhang and freshman Maggie Venema gave it their all, but
Carnegie Mellon proved too dominating for Behrend.
In their second match of the day, the Lions did not fare
much better, as they again lost every one of their singles
matches. The Lions lost their doubles match as well, 6-1 and
6-0, to drop their record to 0-2.
The Lady Lions fared better in the third game of the season
versus Fredonia State. Senior Carrie Reedy and freshman
Kimmy Asada won their matches 8-4 and 8-3 respectively,
but that turned out to be all the Lions could muster.

Senior Angela Albertson gave her opponent a run for her
money but lost 8-6, while Lennys Redondo and Michelle
Brendel lost their matches by the same 8-4 score. Venema
and Zhang lost their doubles match by an 8-2 count.
On Sunday, the Lions played host to Alfred University.
Just like before, the Lions enjoyed moderate success but
still managed to drop a 7-2 decision.
The Lions were scheduled to play against Buffalo State
on Thursday. They will host the Behrend Invitational on
Saturday, opening play against Bethany at 10:30 a.m. Other
schools participating in the day long tournament include
Alfred, John Carroll. Allegheny, Fredonia, Frostburg, and
Edinboro. The Lions will look to avenge last year's loss,
where--if not for a 3-2 loss to Allegheny-- the Lions would
have won their tournament.
No matter the results, the Lions won't have much time
to rest because on Sunday the Behrend team starts the
conference portion of its schedule. The Lions will host
Frostburg at 9 a.m. and then Lake Erie at 11 a.m. On
Wednesday the Lions travel downstate to play Pitt-
Greensburg, and by that time the Lions hope their early
season struggles are a thing of the past.
