NORTHAMPTON, Mass.--The tennis teams of Smith College (0-3, 0-3 NEWMAC) and Mount Holyoke College (1-5, 0-3 NEWMAC) will be looking for their first NEWMAC wins of the season when they meet at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27.

Last Meeting:  April 10, 2011 - at the Seven Sisters Championship, hosted by Wellesley, the Lyons bested the Pioneers by a 5-0 count.  The match was memorable in particular because of the battle at No. 1 singles between Rachel Canfora (Chicago, Ill./Fenwick) and Nahree Han.  Han won the match, but with some effort, winning 7-6 (8-6), 6-7 (5-7), 7-6 (7-0). 

Last Smith Win: October 24, 2009 - Smith defeated Mount Holyoke 5-3 to advance to the semifinals of the NEWMAC tournament.  Clair Oblamski (Brookfield, Wis./Brookfield East), and Ally Hawkins picked up singles victories, and Smith swept all three doubles matches to claim the win.

Smith Overview:  The Pioneers have struggled this season, winning just one point in their first three contests. 

Mount Holyoke Overview: After winning their first match of the season, Mount Holyoke has lost five in a row, including all three of their NEWMAC matches.  The Lyons' lone win came against St. Joseph (Conn.) in their opener on September 9.

Did you know? Smith and Mount Holyoke will meet again in April of 2012, when the Lyons host the next Seven Sisters Championship.
