Box Score

Nicholasville, Ky. - The Transylvania women's tennis team took on Berea College on Sunday afternoon at Top Seed Tennis in Nicholasville, for Senior Day. The Pioneers first recognized a tremendous group of seniors, then took to the court and finished the regular season in great fashion with a resounding 9-0 win. 
 
The Pioneers have been performing well this spring season, and fresh off of their matches in Orlando, Florida over spring break, they looked to continue their high level of play and send off seniors Sheila Cetina, Alyssa Igyarto, Mallory Johnson, and Porsche Robinson with another regular season win.
 
Starting the day in the doubles matches, the Pioneers number one doubles duo of Porsche Robinson and Jessica Burton won their match 8-0 after a strong performance on their home court. Grace Gardner and Katherine Taylor then won a convincing match by a score of 8-1. At the same time Christina Duvall and Sheila Cetina wrapped up stellar doubles play from the Pioneers with another decisive win, also going 8-1. 
 
Both Robinson and Burton kept rolling in singles, as both went 6-0, 6-0 to win their singles matches. Mallory Johnson and Alyssa Igyarto also won their singles matches by the same outstanding score.
 
Sheila Cetina continued to cruise in singles, with a 6-1 and 6-0 win. Shania Jones won her match comfortably as well, taking the victory in two sets with scores of 6-2 and 6-3.
 
The Pioneers, who were ranked #17 in the Atlantic South Region by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association on Friday, improved to 15-4 to conclude the regular season.
 
Head coach Bill Carey said "It's rare that you see a class that has such an impact on a program as this senior class has had. With that in mind it was bittersweet to have Senior Day today. I am so grateful for everything they have done and wish them all the best, and of course will miss them greatly, but they have left Transy tennis in a very good place. Great to have one last regular season match with them and now we anxiously await the NCAA Tournament". 
 
The Pioneers now look ahead to the NCAA Tournament, scheduled to start on Thursday May 12, with location and opponent to be determined.
