Bard spoils Sage's Senior Day
Troy, NY ----Sage's women's tennis team hosted Bard College on Wednesday afternoon in a Skyline Conference match. The contest was the final home match for Sage's three seniors, Kate Saulsbery (Colonie, NY/S. COlonie Central), Ashely Brennan (Loudonville, NY/Colonie Central), and Lauren Schroder (Enfield, CT/Enrico Fermi). The trio have helped Sage's women's tennis team the past four years with their efforts and accomplishments.
On Wednesday, Bard would collect the 9-0 win, spoiling Sage's senior day and the Gators' streak of post-season appearances. Sage needed to win the match to earn a bid to the 2010 Skyline Conference tournament, but did not triumph. The Gators' streak of consecutive post-season appearances ends at three after earning a spot in the tournament in 2007, 2008, and 2009. Bard improves to 6-2 overall and 5-1 in the conference, while Sage falls to 4-7 overall and 2-4 in the league.
