Women’s Tennis Poised for Maryland Trip
April 01, 2016 | Women's Tennis
WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point women's tennis team makes its way out to Maryland this weekend for a pair of matches. The first is against Navy for the annual Star Match meeting on Saturday, April 2, at 11 a.m. Then the Black Knights make the short drive to Loyola (Md.) for a 10 a.m. first serve on Sunday, April 3. This is the first time that Army will be on the road in the spring season.
Women's tennis is relatively new to the rivalry as this will be just the eighth meeting between the two service academies. The Black Knights are 6-1 against the Midshipmen all-time. For the 2015-16 Star Series presented by USAA, Navy holds a 9-7-1 advantage.

LAST TIME OUT
Army won meetings against LIU Brooklyn (5-0), Holy Cross (5-0), and Lafayette (7-0) to extend its winning streak to nine in a row. The Black Knights were a perfect 14-0 in singles matches. Junior Allyson Hayley, freshman Genevieve McCormick, senior Gabriella Spindler, and freshman Arianna Spirtos all posted 2-0 records on the weekend.
Senior Carolyn Pitman and freshman Kirby Einck remained perfect this season in doubles with three wins. They are now 12-0 this spring. For her career, Pitman ranks tied for eighth in singles wins in school history (69), second in doubles victories (103), recently cracked the top 10 for wins in the top singles flight (18) and has never dropped a match against Navy (5-0 singles, 4-0 doubles) over her four years.
SCOUTING NAVY
The Midshipmen record stands at 15-8 and after splitting their opening two conference tilts. Navy has been particularly strong at home with a 12-3 record and have won five straight in Annapolis, Md.
Sophomore Amanda Keller has won two of her last three matches as the Mids top singles player. Her two wins in doubles last weekend in the number one doubles flight and a split in the number one singles position led to Patriot League Player of the Week honors.
SCOUTING LOYOLA (Md.)
The Greyhounds are 7-4 this spring but lost its lone Patriot League match at Lehigh, 6-1, on March 20. They have rebounded with two 7-0 victories since then.
Senior Megan Hahn has served as Loyola's top singles player. She has totaled over 60 singles wins in her career and has won her last two matches in the top slot.
SERIES HISTORY
Navy edged out Army last season with a 4-3 victory for the Mids first win in the rivalry. The Black Knights won the first six meetings before last year.
This is only the third time Army and Loyola have ever met with the Cadets winning the previous two meets.
NEXT UP: Wednesday, April 6 at Albany – 1:00 p.m.
The Black Knights play only once next week as they play Albany on the road. The Great Danes are 9-5 this season and a perfect 4-0 at home.
