WATERBURY, Conn. – The Goldey-Beacom College women's tennis team cruised to a 9-0 victory in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference road match against Post University at Chase Collegiate School.

The Lightning improved to 6-0 on the season overall and 5-0 in conference play. This marks the second straight year they have started out 6-0, and the year before that (2008), they began 5-0.

GBC won all three doubles matches by 8-0 shutouts and also won all six singles matches to complete its second 9-0 sweep of the season.

Sophomore Blanca Sancho (2-4) dominated at first singles, 6-0, 6-1 for her first singles win since the season opener on Sept. 2 at Molloy. She also teamed up with sophomore Anastasia Chibrikova at No. 2 doubles for an 8-0 shutout win.
