Goldey-Beacom's run to what it hopes is another appearance in the NCAA Regionals continued with the opening of the spring season, which resulted in an 8-1 triumph at West Chester.

The Lightning (12-2) won all six singles matches without requiring a third set and have won six of their last seven team matches dating to last fall.

Sophomore Maria Victoria (Totana, Spain) notched a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Maddy Shaak at second singles, senior Stephanie Puentes Robinson (Bogota, Colombia) posted a 6-2, 6-2 win over Abriana Nolan at third singles and freshman Julia Gutierrez (Quart, Spain) had a 6-0, 6-0 triumph vs. Cassidy Branigan at No. 4 singles.

Sophomore Amina Mrad notched a 6-0, 6-1 win at fifth singles over Alyssa Rees, senior Filipa Correia (Monte Estoril, Portugal) recorded a 6-1, 6-0 victory at sixth singles vs. Kristen Wong and freshman Laura Moreno (Murcia, Spain) won by default over Claire Uhle at first singles after holding a 3-2 lead.

GBC grabbed two of the three doubles matches. Puentes Robinson and Mrad had an 8-1 triumph at No. 2 doubles over Brannigan and Stephanie Cifarelli with Correia and sophomore Nina Sengl (Puchheum, Germany) recording an 8-3 win at third doubles vs. Nolan and Rees for the Golden Rams (3-6).

Goldey-Beacom, which has competed at the NCAA Regionals four of the last five years, gets right back at it Friday with a match at Seton Hill, starting at 12:30 pm.
