Lions register victories over Harvard, Brown, and Boston College; Doubles team of Jennifer Kerr and Shivani Amineni lead Lions at Brown Hidden Duals with an undefeated 3-0 record on weekend.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.—The Columbia women's tennis team defeated all three of its opponents in dual matches Friday through Sunday at the Brown Hidden Duals. Columbia defeated Harvard 6-3 on Friday, claimed a 9-3 win on Saturday and followed that up with a 7-2 victory over Boston College. The event's format simulated regular dual matches but does not count on overall team won-loss records.

Columbia's doubles team of senior Jennifer Kerr and junior Shivani Amineni put together an undefeated 3-0 weekend. Senior Akanksha Bhan and junior Michelle Xu both finished the weekend undefeated in singles with 2-0 records. Sophomore Sasha Wood, sophomore Anna Zhang won two singles matches apiece, while the doubles duo of Wood and first-year Sophia Strugnell also claimed two matches.
