Mary Baldwin senior Hannah Eastridge went the distance in both singles and doubles matches Saturday but came up short of taking a point away from Meredith in the team score as the host Avenging Angels topped the Fighting Squirrels in a USA South women's tennis match, 9-0.

Eastridge started the match with doubles partner Kelsey Bantel, pushing Meredith's top doubles tandem before falling 8-6.  In singles, Eastridge was strong again in a 6-3, 6-4 setback to Ellie Osbourne in #1 singles.  Bantel also took three games in the #2 singles battle with Claire Southern before falling 6-1, 6-2.

The women's tennis team now has off for final exams before finishing the regular season with three matches next weekend - Friday (4/19) at Salem, Saturday (4/20) at home against Methodist and Sunday (4/21) at Trinity University in D.C.
