COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Captain BreAnna Bashaw made Senior Day count, staying on course for 100 career wins with a pair of victories in the Ursinus College women's tennis team's 6-3 loss to Franklin & Marshall on Saturday.

Needing six wins in her final three matches to reach the century mark, Bashaw put herself in prime position to do just that. After receiving recognition alongside classmate Stephanie-Jane Seabra in a pregame ceremony, she teamed with sophomore Ariel Danziger for an 8-5 win at second doubles, the Bears' lone doubles point of the day as Nicole Russo and Emily Gruenberg (number one) and Allysan Breece and Gavriel Rubenstein (number three) sandwiched 8-3 victories around Bashaw's triumph.

Bashaw picked up her second win of the day at number two singles, taking a 4-1 first-set lead before her opponent retired. Russo (first), Gruenberg (fourth), Rubenstein (fifth), and Breece (sixth) all won in straight sets before sophomore Aileen Bevard took down Sarah Haas 7-6 (4), 3-6, 10-8 at third singles for Ursinus (9-7, 2-6).

With the victory, Franklin & Marshall (9-10, 7-3) clinched a spot in the upcoming CC championship.

Bevard improved to 14-2 in dual matches this season, while Bashaw and Danziger won their seventh consecutive doubles match, moving to 13-3 on the year.

The Bears close out the regular season with road matches at Bryn Mawr (4/27) and McDaniel (4/30).

Coach's Corner

"I am so grateful for everything that Bre and Steph have done for the program in their time here," head coach Pete Smith said. :They have been a big part of what we have accomplished over the last two years, which is without a doubt the most productive two-year run in the history of the women's tennis program here at Ursinus. Steph (with partner Christine Palazzolo) has been a part of one of the most successful doubles team in school history this season, while Bre will leave Ursinus as the winningest player of all-time. They will be very tough to replace, and they will be sorely missed."
