Lady Leopards Clinch Share of NBC At Marlington
Louisville 5, Marlington 0
The Lady Leopards won their 25th consecutive NBC Tennis Match and clinched at least a share of the NBC Crown Thursday at Marlington. Their 5-0 victory is also the seventh straight shutout Louisville has recorded in conference play and it pulls them to 10-1 overall and 6-0 in the NBC for the 2012 campaign.
Louisville won every game in straight sets. The key matchup in #1 Singles featured Gretchen Groves defeating AnnaMae Aufrance 7-5, 6-4. Alexis Isla & Sam Pukys earned 6-0, 6-0 victories in each of their matches as well. Finally the doubles teams of Hannah Lemmon & Ciara Antonacci and Sarah Robbins & Lindsay Brindack also won their matches in straight sets. In similar fashion, all of these Leopards winners won in straight sets on Wednesday at West Branch.
The victories helped earn Louisville their third consecutive conference title and sixth NBC Title overall. A win at Alliance on September 25 will give Louisville the outright crown. Here’s a look at the standings that we’ve gathered:
