Brookville, N.Y. - The Adelphi University women's tennis team defeated former East Coast Conference rival LIU-Post, 6-3, on Tuesday afternoon. The Panthers swept doubles play to lead 3-0 in the match and never looked back to run their overall record to 8-1 on the season. The Pioneers drop to 4-2 with the loss. 

The Panthers picked up two points without having to step on the court, as the Pioneers were forced to default No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles. The Panthers moved into a good position in the match by claiming the other two wins in doubles. Stefani Lineva and Charlotte Moreau partnered for the first time this season at No. 1, while Rebecca Fakas and Joanna Haich also teamed up for the first time with a win.

With just one win required to secure the match, Haich and Fakas picked up victories in contrasting fashion. Haich edged Heena Kewalramani in a close two-set match at No. 3, while Fakas dominated Laura Harwell without the loss of a game at No. 4.
