Women's Tennis Shuts Out New Haven, 9-0

West Haven, Conn. -- The Adelphi University women's tennis team got back to its winning ways on Tuesday afternoon on the road, blanking the Chargers of the University of New Haven by a 9-0 final.

Vanja Savic and Maria Bruzon Gutierrez ensured the clean sweep for the Panthers in doubles, partnering to an 8-3 win at No. 3. 

Keeping the momentum rolling in singles, Adelphi recorded double bagel wins at No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 and No 5 as Kallenberg, Fakas, Perri and Savic all did not drop a game between them.
