Seahawks Fall at Washington (MD)

Chestertown, Md. – The regionally-ranked Washington (Md.) College women’s tennis team posted an 8-1 victory over St. Mary’s College of Maryland Tuesday afternoon to snap the Seahawks’ two-match win streak.

Washington (6-1), ranked ninth in the Atlantic South region, swept all three doubles flights and singles flights No. 1 through No. 5 before sophomore Kathleen Ramsey (Dunkirk, Md./Northern) halted the Shorewomen.

Ramsey continued her winning ways with her eighth consecutive victory as she notched the Seahawks’ lone point at No. 6 singles.  Ramsey posted an 8-2 win over first-year Kelsey Mills (Cambridge, Md./Cambridge-South Dorchester).

St. Mary’s will be back in action tomorrow as the Seahawks host non-conference opponent, Trinity (D.C.) University, at 3:30 pm at the Somerset Tennis Complex.
