The Fairmont State Women's team posted an impressive 7-2 win over University of Scranton Wednesday. The late afternoon match began under very warm and sunny conditions, and concluded when the lights automatically turned off a little after 10pm.
Several Falcons generated impressive wins including senior, Sierra Hendershot, who posted a decisive single's win and a doubles win with her partner Katie Prather. Prather pulled out a gutsy single's win of her own.
Heidi Bastin and Courtney Kisamore both also recorded doubles and singles wins. The dramatic last match of the evening featured Sarah White with a 6-2 come back in the second set after dropping the first set 4-6. The team win had already been determined, which meant White and her opponent were to finish the match with a tie break. White had taken a clear lead before the courts turned to pitch black as the lights turned off by timer.
