Chin Wins on “Senior Day,” but Scots Fall 8-1 to Gators

Melanie Chin

Wooster's Melanie Chin returns a volley during doubles play in today's match against Allegheny.
The only senior on this year's squad, Chin has 33 career wins (17 singles, 16 doubles). 

In the last home match of her career, College of Wooster senior Melanie Chin went out a high note with a gutsy victory, but the Fighting Scots weren't able to take any other points off Allegheny College, ultimately falling by an 8-1 count on Friday afternoon in North Coast Athletic Conference divisional play at the D.J. Hard Memorial Courts.

Chin, the Scots' lone senior, was involved in a lengthy match at No. 6 singles, which she won in a third-set super tiebreaker 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 (12-10). It marked the 33rd win of her career, with 17 coming in singles and another 16 in doubles action.

Rose Chiumento also pushed her Allegheny (12-4, 2-0 NCAC East) foe to a third-set super tiebreaker at the third-spot in the order, but she came up just short of triumph, 6-3, 4-6, 1-0 (10-6).

Both No. 1 Catherine Christian and No. 2 Rachel Molé were highly-competitive in the second sets of their matches, but it wasn't enough to get in the column, as they were edged out 6-0, 6-4 and 6-1, 7-5, respectively.

The Christian/Mole duo was also impressive in a narrow 9-8 (7-4) defeat at No. 1 doubles.

Wooster (5-13, 0-3 NCAC East) wraps up its regular season slate with a visit to Baldwin Wallace University (5-14) on Monday at 4:30 p.m.
