Wellesley Rolls Over Defending NEWMAC Champion MIT
WELLESLEY, MA - The Wellesley College tennis team
picked up its most important victory of the season Tuesday afternoon,
defeating defending NEWMAC champion MIT, 6-3, inside the Dorothy
Towne Fieldhouse.
The match was forced inside due to inclement weather.
Wellesley (4-1 overall, 4-0 NEWMAC) cleared the biggest hurdle
in its quest for a NEWMAC championship. A year ago, the Engineers
handed Wellesley its only NEWMAC loss of the season, a 6-3 setback
in Cambridge.
Wellesley led 2-1 after the doubles competition before taking four
of the six singles matches, four of which went the full three sets.
