QUEENS, N.Y. - The St. John's women's tennis team (9-1) rolled to a 7-0 victory over Farleigh Dickinson University at the National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. on Thursday. The Red Storm ran its winning streak to seven consecutive matches.
The team captured the doubles point in no time, winning all three matchups to begin the afternoon. Jessica Livianu and Anna Morozova started the day with a convincing 6-1 victory over FDU's Katarina Pavlovic and Tatiana Eftenoiu. Zofia Stanisz and Olaya Inclan Solis had no trouble clinching the doubles point, taking their match, 6-3, in the No. 2 slot.
Stephanie Elgegren and Jaide Collins came up with a tough, 7-5, win over Patricia Eftenoiu and Liza Rachenko to round out doubles play.
From there, the Johnnies swept singles play to capture the victory. Morozova earned the first singles point of the match with a 6-0, 6-2 victory at the No. 2 position. Inclan Solis clinched the match with a smooth 6-1, 6-2 victory over Patricia Eftenoiu.
The Johnnies had to grind out a couple of singles wins to complete the shutout. St. John's freshman Livianu, currently the No. 61 player in Division I, earned a long 6-3, 3-6, 10-7 over Shreya Pasricha. Stanisz also needed a few extra games in the third set to carve out a victory, winning 5-7, 6-1, 10-8 over Marta Ruszczynska at the No. 4 slot.
The Johnnies have not lost since FIU took a 4-1 win from the Johnnies at the National Tennis Center on February 3. Head Coach Lauren Leo has led her squad to four shutouts during the streak.
The Red Storm is back in action on Saturday with a matchup against Ivy League foe Harvard in Boston, Mass.
