MEDFORD -- The Tufts University women's tennis team concluded its 2007-08 regular season with an 8-1 victory over Trinity College on Saturday in a NESCAC match at Voute Courts. Ranked 13th nationally, Tufts improved to 10-5 overall and 6-2 in the conference. Trinity fell to 10-5 and 3-3.

Tufts set the tone for the day with a dominating doubles performance. The #2 pair of sophomores Meghan McCooey (Cumberland, RI) and Erica Miller (Boca Raton, FL) and the #3 duo of first-years Edwina Stewart (London, ENG) and Julia Browne (Old Brookville, NY) both won by 8-1 scores.

McCooey, stepping up to the #1 spot in singles, went three sets to defeat Trinity's Brenna Driscoll, who was ranked 37th in the country entering the match. After losing the first set 6-3, McCooey rallied to 6-1 and 6-3 wins. Browne was a quick 6-1, 6-0 winner in the #2 match. The Jumbos also received solid victories from Miller at #3 (6-4, 6-0) and from junior Mari Homma (Eastchester, NY) at #5 (6-2, 6-4).

The lone Trinity win of the day came in the #6 singles match where first-year Jillian Steckloff took a 6-4, 6-2 final.

The Jumbos and Bantams now await word on the NESCAC Tournament pairings. Middlebury College will host the event next weekend (Apr. 25-27).
