#2 seed Charleston heads to WVIAC Tournament
Top seed West Virginia State is the favorite as play opens Friday at the WVIAC Women's Tennis Championship. The Jackets swept through the WVIAC with an 8-0 league mark and own a 15-2 overall record.
The Jackets are led by freshman Anna Baronayte and her 21-1 overall record at #1 singles. WVSU also gets key contributions from sophomores Teddi Russell, Erica Blakley, and Belle, WV native Emily Bowlin. The Jackets face #8 seed Bluefield State (0-9, 0-7) in the first round.
Charleston (7-4, 7-1) holds down the second seed. Junior Bre Moyle handed Baronayte her lone loss of the season earlier this week. Other key Golden Eagles include Neha Rana, Christina Samoilov, and Alexa Kay. UC battles #7 Concord (5-8, 2-6) in their opener.
#3 seed Shepherd (9-4, 6-2) has posted a solid season and seeks their first conference tournament championship since 2003. The freshman duo of Rochelle Lambert and Brittany Moreland have enjoyed solid rookie campaigns for head coach Chris Stambaugh. SU clashes with #6 seed West Virginia Wesleyan (6-7, 3-5).
Defending champion West Liberty State (6-6, 5-3) has tournament tested seniors Heather Alcorn and Megan Cooey. The Toppers open their defense versus #5 seed Fairmont State (4-4, 4-4).
