HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac women's tennis team picked up its first dual match victory of the season Wednesday afternoon with a 5-2 victory over the Sacred Heart Pioneers as four different players picked up two victories and all six players in the starting lineup won at least one match.
Rachel Horton (Stamford, Connecticut), Proyfon Lohaphaisan (Santa Clarita, California), Jennifer Lu (Cypress, California) and Adrian Young (Orange Village, Ohio) all won two matches for the Bobcats (1-1, 0-0 MAAC).
Picking up a victory in the match, Sophia Dzulynsky (Miramar, Florida) won her 80th career match to tie junior Sydney Young (Austin, Texas) for the most wins on the active roster. Dzulynsky won in doubles, picking up her 50th career doubles win and fifth of the season.
The Bobcats swept all three doubles matches to take the doubles point to put the team up 1-0 over the Pioneers. Dzulynsky and Lu were the first match complete of the afternoon, defeating Taylor Gurda and Olivia Podsiebierski in their match, 6-3.
