Beginning a week of three huge home matches against regionally ranked teams, Goldey-Beacom passed the first test with a 6-3 triumph over Stonehill at Delcastle Tennis Center in Wilmington, DE.

Ranked third in the East Region, the Lightning (13-1) came through against the fifth-ranked Skyhawks (13-6). GBC on Monday hosts number three Queens (NY) and on Thursday entertains top-ranked New York Tech.

Goldey-Beacom already is in the NCAA Tournament by virtue of winning the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. The top two seeds in the six-team regional earn a bye into the round of 32.

Senior Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany) and Francesca Beg (Westbury, England), ranked 10th in the East Region, got things started with an 8-2 triumph at No. 1 doubles over Emma Prinos and Nicole Downey. Freshmen Alma Garcia Valle (Valladolid, Spain) and Silvia Hortelano Pey (Castelldefels, Spain) then posted an 8-3 triumph vs. Caroline Ray and Melissa Parker at third doubles.

Freshman Anna Hortelano Pey (Castelldefels, Spain), ranked 15th in the East Region, got a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Alexandra Vo at number one and Beg amassed a 6-3, 6-3 triumph at number two over Prinos. Garcia Valle recorded a 6-2, 7-5 win at third singles over Downey and Sengl notched a 6-4, 6-2 victory at No. 4 singles over Caroline Ray.

Sengl now is 14-0 this season in singles and the win puts her in a seventh-place tie for most singles triumphs in one season in GBC history.

Monday's match starts at 3:30 pm.
