Women’s tennis sustained a strong start to their spring season after clinching a pair of wins this weekend, going 3-1 for the season.
The Revolutionaries competed in three matchups this weekend, beating Mount St. Mary’s 4-0 on Friday and losing to DePaul in a tight 3-4 finish Saturday before ending their weekend on a 5-2 win against Navy on Sunday. Senior Alejandra Ramirez was key for the Revs in the weekend stint, and sophomores Madison Lee and Victoria Sasinka secured big victories for the Revs in their doubles sets.
After opening their spring season with a 7-0 sweep against George Mason in January, the Revs plan to compete in about a dozen matches throughout the spring before facing six conference rivals and wrapping up their season at the Atlantic 10 Championship in Orlando in late April.
In their triumph against George Mason, the Revs took home a full sweep after winning all nine of their matches. Freshmen Karen Verduzco and Vaida Matuseviciute and Lee and Sasinka all powered through their doubles sets, winning 6-3 and 6-0, respectively. Sophomore Solange Skeene and senior Alejandra Ramirez also clinched a doubles victory, winning 7-7 (6-4).
During singles play, the team trounced the Patriots, pulling off wins in all six sets. Ramirez and Skeene secured the sweep for the Revs with two convincing singles wins.

Collecting their second win of the season, the Revs dominated in doubles action against Mount St. Mary’s in their first match of the weekend stint at the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center in D.C. The Buff and Blue started comfortably by clinching double points. Verduzco and Vaida returned to doubles play, putting up a fight but ultimately falling in the opening match 7-5.
In the second doubles pairing, Lee and Sasinka blanked 0-6 to even the score. The deciding third doubles came down to Ramirez and Skeene, who sealed the deal with a 6-2 win.
Moving into singles action, the Revs maintained their momentum as Sasinka won both matches 6-1. Verduzco followed suit in the fourth singles match and notched a 6-4, 6-2 victory. Ramirez secured victory for the Revs in the sixth singles, delivering 6-1, 6-0.
The remaining singles matches were unfinished as the Revs held onto their lead, but the sets demonstrated the Revs’ strength on the court. Matuseviciute and Lee both held strong with respective scores of 6-3, 4-4 and 4-6, 1-2. Skeene dominated in singles play winning 6-0, 5-2 in both of her matches.
The Revs hosted DePaul on Saturday, ultimately falling in a slim 3-4 finish.
Verduzco and Matuseviciute remained the only victorious doubles pair, winning 6-3. Yet pairs Ramirez and Skeene and Sasinka and Lee fell 6-2 and 7-5 respectively. During singles play, Verduzco, Skeene and Ramirez all commanded the court, with Verduzco going 6-3, 6-3, Skeene 6-4, 6-0 and Ramirez 6-1, 6-0.
Before ending the weekend, the Revs travelled to Annapolis, Maryland, to shut out Navy 5-2 on Sunday. Unlike the day before, Verduzco and Matuseviciute fell 6-0 to Navy, and Skeene and Ramirez also lost 6-2 in their doubles set. Sasinka and Lee were the only victorious doubles pair from the Revs, winning 6-4. The Revs won all but one of their six singles matches, with Matuseviciute, Lee, Verduzco, Skeene and Ramirez all notching wins.
The Revs will face off against Delaware State on home territory at the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center on Thursday, Feb. 13 at 11:00 a.m.
