GALLOWAY, N.J. – The No. 40 TCNJ women's tennis team once again locked up another NJAC regular-season crown with dominating sweeps of Rutgers-Camden and Stockton on Saturday.
The Lions (16-1, 4-0) will as usual be the No. 1 seed for the upcoming NJAC Tournament, which gets underway next Wednesday when the blue and gold hosts 4
th-seeded William Paterson.
Aside from another regular-season title, the big news of the day was
Gabriella Robinson eclipsing 100 career wins. The junior became the 25
th player in program history to join the Century Club with 6-0 bagel alongside
Elizabeth Ring at third doubles.
Eleni Dakos and
Gabrielle Brideau were hot on their heels with a bagel of their own at number two doubles, and
Zoey Albert and
Shruti Mannan dispatched Bella Albert and Grace Albert (no relation to Zoey) by a 6-2 count.
Dakos and Ring were right off the court with 6-0, 6-0 double bagels on the bookend singles courts (first and sixth, respectively) before
Zoey Albert posted the clinching point with a 6-1, 6-1 win in the second flight.
Robinson added to her career tally with a 6-2, 6-1 victory at number five before Brideau won 6-0, 6-4 over Grace Albert at number three and Mannan logged a 6-3, 6-3 win against Bella Albert at number four.
The Lions made even shorter work of Stockton, which forfeited third doubles as well as sixth singles, and did not drop a single game.
Albert and Mannan (No. 1) joined Brideau and Dakos (No. 2) as 6-0 winners in doubles.
Dakos (No. 1), Albert (No. 2), Mannan (No. 3), Robinson (No. 4), and Ring (No. 5) all won 6-0, 6-0 in singles play, with
