ORLANDO, Fla. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica women's tennis team began its Spring Break Trip with a pair of victories on Sunday.
 
CSS 7, Saint Ambrose 2
The Saints opened their trip at the brand new USTA Training Center in Lake Nona, Florida. The Saints faced NAIA's Saint Ambrose University (Iowa) and cruised to a 7-2 victory.
 
In doubles action, the No. 1 team of Madeleine Scanlan (St. Albans, England /Loreto College) and Jessica Solberg (Bemidji, Minn. /Bemidji HS) won 9-7. The No. 2 team of Elise Hauer (Duluth, Minn. /Duluth East HS) and Alexia Brascugli (Eveleth, Minn. /Eveleth-Gilbert HS) was also victorious by an 8-4 score.
 
The Saints proceeded to win five of the six singles matches. Sarah Coryell (Golden Valley, Minn. /Armstrong HS) won at the No. 2 spot by scores of 6-1, 6-3. For Coryell, that was her 50th career singles victory, the ninth player in program history to reach that milestone.
 
Coryell's winning scores were the same for Emma Bartels (Roseville, Minn. /Mounds View HS (Minn.-Duluth)) at the No. 4 spot. Miki Samz (Savage, Minn. /Burnsville HS) won at the No. 4 spot 7-5, 6-3. The final winner was Risako Oya (Chiba, Japan /ShowaGakuin Shuei HS) at No. 5 by scores of 6-1, 6-4.
 
CSS 7, Lake Forest 2
St. Scholastica's second match of the day was against a short-handed Lake Forest College (Ill.) squad. The Foresters had only four players dress so that meant the Saints won by default at the No. 5 and 6 singles and No. 3 doubles. CSS did go 4-2 in the matches that were played to win 7-2.
 
The Saints split the two doubles matches that were played. The No.1 team of Solberg/Scanlan won 8-4.
 
In singles, Solberg shut out her opponent at the No. 1 spot 6-0, 6-0. Scanlan won at No. 2 by scores of 6-0, 6-4. Katelyn Rice (Eveleth, Minn. /Eveleth-Gilbert HS) was the final winner on the day with a 6-1, 6-2 victory at the No. 4 spot.
 
Up Next:
The Saints (8-1) are off on Monday and return to the court on Tuesday to face both Cornell College (Iowa) and Saint Mary's College (Ind.).
