WEST CHESTER, Pa. -- Kutztown University women's tennis fell to West Chester, 7-0, in its PSAC East opener on Saturday afternoon at the West Chester University Tennis Courts.

Catherine Maher (Shillington, Pa./Berks Catholic) and
Sarah Grebosky (Reisterstown, Md./Mount de Sales Academy) won two games in a loss at second doubles, as did
Jillian Siefert (Kutztown, Pa./Kutztown) and
Shadimon Navarro (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall) at No. 3, but WCU (1-0 PSAC East, 4-4) swept doubles to secure the first point of the match.
The Golden Rams won all six singles matches in straight sets, though Grebosky dropped a tight opening set to Roelker, 6-4, before losing the second 6-1 at No. 4. No. 1
Yasmeen Malik (Wernersville, Pa./Conrad Weiser) fell 6-3, 6-1 to Rylee Power, and
Alicia Pursell (Hamburg, Pa./Hamburg) won four games in a 6-1, 6-3 defeat to Alyssa Skulsky at No. 2.
