GAMBIER - The College of Wooster women's tennis team began the 2023-24 campaign at the two-day Kenyon Invitational. Across both days of action, the Scots collected 10 total wins, including eight in singles action. 

Half of the singles wins came on the first day of play. Sophomore Abby Williams defeated a pair of Ohio Athletic Conference foes in Otterbein's Rachelle Moses and John Carroll's Sarah Sgambati. Williams beat Moses 6-2, 6-0 and then battled Sgambati to a 7-6, 6-2 victory.

Junior Janaki Jagannathan also took on a John Carroll Blue Streak in Madeline Kavenagh en route to a 6-4, 6-4 win. Senior Otilia Oita also recorded a win on Saturday, beating Allegheny's Jean-Arlette Legrand by a score of 6-2, 6-0. 

Although Wooster didn't score a doubles victory on day one, first-year Lauren Richmond and senior Abby Aitken put up a tough fight against an Otterbein duo but ultimately fell 8-6. Williams and sophomore Margaret Steward had a tough match against an Otterbein pair as well, falling by a score of 8-5. 

On the second day of action, Oita, Jagannathan and Williams all continued their winning ways. Oita matched her score from the previous day, beating Oberlin's Freya Rahm 6-2, 6-0.

Williams picked up her third singles win of the invitational by beating Allegheny's Sabrina Rodriguez 6-1, 6-1. Jagannathan found herself in a fight with Denison's Caroline Kittle but she grinded out the victory after a third set super tiebreaker, 6-1, 1-6, 1-0 (5). Richmond also joined in on the action with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Samantha Kuczsynski of John Carroll. 

Wooster also notched two doubles wins on the final day as Steward and Williams paired up for an 8-6 win over a team from Allegheny. Meanwhile, Oita and Jagannathan cruised to an 8-3 win over a Denison duo. 

Wooster wraps up its fall schedule at the three-day Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional Tournament, beginning Sept. 22 in St. Louis, Missouri.
