Oceanside, N.Y. - Forced indoors due to inclement weather, the Adelphi University women's tennis team picked up a 6-3 win against the visiting Skyhawks of Stonehill College on Saturday afternoon. After picking up two wins in doubles, the Panthers won four singles matches to secure the victory and claim first place in the Northeast-10 Conference standings.

Adelphi (11-2, 9-0 NE-10) got on the board first behind an 8-0 win at No. 2 doubles by Stefani Lineva and Rebecca Fakas, pushing the pair's record together to 11-1. The Stonehill (6-1, 6-1 NE-10) pairing of Meryl Lawrence and Colleen O'Donnell downed Maria Fernanda Bruzon Gutierrez and Joanna Haich at No. 3 to pull the match level, but Charlotte Moreau and Katarina Barborikova claimed an 8-3 win at top flight to nudge Adelphi in front heading to singles.

Lineva, Moreau and Barborikova claimed straight sets wins at No. 1 through No. 3 singles to see the Brown and Gold to another win. Barborikova dropped just one game en route to defeating Emma Prinos 6-0, 6-1, while Moreau dropped just three games against Analise Kump and Lineva conceded just four to Bailey Paradiso. Fakas put the finishing touches on the win by coming back from a set down to defeat Lawrence in a match tiebreak, 3-6, 6-1, 10-4.
