ORLANDO, Fla. - The Dartmouth women's tennis team got back on the winning track today, besting the University of Central Florida 4-3 at the UCF Tennis Complex. The Knights (7-7) won two of the three doubles matches to take the doubles point, with Dartmouth's No. 1 team of senior co-captain Megan Zebroski (Port Washington, N.Y.) and freshman Molly Scott (Trabuco Cyn, Calif.) picking up the lone win for the Big Green.

Playing in sweltering conditions, Dartmouth rebounded to win four of the six singles matches and clinch the match. Scott was first off the court for the Big Green, winning handily at No. 1 singles over Elvira Serrot, followed by fellow freshman Georgiana Smyser (Houston, Texas) who won 6-1, 6-3 over Jennifer Carrati at No. 5 singles. Zebroski lost a close match at No. 2 singles, as did sophomore Jesse Adler (Winnetka, Ill.) at No. 4, who fell 6-4 in the third set. Fellow sophomores Mary Beth Winingham (Carmel, ind.) at No. 3 and Carley Markovitz (South Pasadena, Calif.) at No. 6 pulled out the final two wins for Dartmouth, both winning in three sets.

Dartmouth is now 8-1 on the season and returns to action on Wednesday, March 19, with a double-header. The Big Green takes on Coastal Carolina at 10 a.m., followed by a 4 p.m. match with Iowa State. Both matches will be played at Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers, Florida.
