Greenville, S.C. - The Dartmouth women's tennis team went 1-1 on its Southern swing, falling 6-1 yesterday to Davidson and edging #75-ranked Furman 4-3 today. Dartmouth's spring record is now 5-1.

Freshman Jesse Adler picked up Dartmouth's lone point against Davidson, although Dartmouth won at No. 1 doubles and Carley Markovitz battled to a third set super-breaker at No. 6 singles.

At Furman, Dartmouth got into an early hole after losing the doubles point to the Lady Paladins. Freshman Mary Beth Winingham then put the Big Green on the scoreboard with a straight set win at No. 2 singles, and senior co-captain Kerry Snow and Adler put two more points on the board with wins at No. 4 and No. 5 singles respectively. With the match tied 3-3, sophomore Jamie Caplan battled back after losing the first set and saved a match point down 5-4 in the second set. Cheered on by her teammates, Caplan won the second set in a tiebreaker, 7-3, to take the match to a third set. Caplan dominated the third set against Lauren Tomory, winning 6-1 to clinch the 4-3 victory for the Big Green.

Dartmouth returns to the comfortable confines of the Alexis Boss Tennis Center and Alan Gordon Pavilion this Friday at 5 p.m. when it squares off against UMass. The Big Green then plays Minnesota at home on Saturday at 12 noon.
