October 02, 2012

NORTHAMPTON, Mass.--NEWMAC play resumes for the Smith College tennis team (0-2, 0-2 NEWMAC) when they make the short trip to Springfield College to take on the Pride (3-2, 0-2 NEWMAC) on Tuesday afternoon.

Last Meeting:  Smith grabbed a 7-2 win over Springfield on October 4, 2011.  The Pioneers swept all three doubles matches, and won at Nos. 3-6 singles for their first win of the year.

Smith Overview:  The Pioneers come into today's match after three members of the squad took part in the ITA Regional at MIT.  Bayla Weick (Woodbridge, Conn./Amity), Haruka Shimoto (Tokyo, Japan/International School of the Sacred Heart), and Jana Chan (San Francisco, Calif./The Bay School) all competed for Smith, though none advanced out of the first round.

Springfield Overview:  The Pride have alternated wins and losses this season, taking decisions from Salve Regina, Western New England, and Suffolk, but falling to league foes MIT and Wheaton.
