ITHACA, N.Y. – Playing the opening match of the 2015 ECAC Women's Tennis Championship, fourth-seeded Dartmouth women's tennis team defeated No. 5 seed Brown for the second time in the past two weeks by a score of 4-1.

“We did a great job of competing and fighting today against a very good Brown team,” head coach Bob Dallis said. “Both Jacqueline and Kristina battled back from 5-2 deficits to win their first and second sets, respectively. And Taylor had a solid straight-set win over last year's Ivy League Rookie of the Year.”

The Big Green took the doubles point as the 37th-ranked pairing of sophomore Taylor Ng and freshman Kristina Mathis blanked Ashley Noyes and Alyza Benotto, 6-0, at No. 1 and senior Akiko Okuda and freshman Julia Schroeder defeated Hannah Camhi and Maddie Stearns at No. 3 by a score of 6-4.

Schroeder got things started in singles action, putting the next point on the board with her 6-3, 6-2 win over Noyes at No. 6. Ng defeated Dayna Lord at No. 1 by a score of 6-4, 6-3 and junior Jacqueline Crawford clinched the win with her 7-5, 6-1 win against Ammu Mandalap at No. 4

No. 62 Dartmouth will continue the Championship on Saturday with a 9 a.m. match against No. 54 Princeton, who is the top seed in the event.
