Box Score
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Army West Point women's tennis team got revenge for its lone loss against Navy in the last meeting between the two as the Black Knights topped the Midshipmen 6-1 on Saturday afternoon. Army improves to 7-1 in the all-time series against the Mids while moving the season record for the Star Series presented by USAA to 9-8-1 in advantage of Navy.
The Black Knights have now won 10 straight games as they improve to 17-3 this year and 3-0 in the Patriot League. The Midshipmen fall to 15-9 this spring and 1-2 in conference.
Senior Carolyn Pitman remained undefeated in her career against Navy. She teamed with Kirby Einck to stay unbeaten with the freshman this spring in doubles for a 6-2 victory. The pairing is now 13-0 in 2016 while Pitman is 5-0 against the Midshipmen in doubles. The West Chester, Ohio, native won for the sixth time in as many tries against the Mids in singles play with a victory in the top singles flight. She had to rally against sophomore Amanda Keller to ultimately take a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 win.
In the academy record books, Pitman took sole possession of eighth place in career singles wins (70) and broke a tie for career dual wins in the number one position (19) as she now stands alone in seventh place.
Army's other doubles win to take the initial point came from the team of junior Nancy Porter and freshman Genevieve McCormick in the third doubles spot by a score of 6-4. Porter and McCormick proceeded to add wins in singles play as the former won in the sixth flight 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 and the latter won by default in the third flight.
The Black Knights will stay in the state of Maryland to face off with Loyola (Md.) tomorrow morning beginning at 10 a.m.
