NEW YORK – The Columbia women's tennis got the fall tennis started with a dominant showing at the Columbia Invitational this weekend in the Philip and Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center.

Columbia hosted Wagner, Corner, VCU and LIU in the event this weekend. The Lions dominated by winning 30 of 36 total singles and doubles matches over three days.

The duo of senior Anna Zhang and sophomore Sophia Wang went 2-0 in doubles play over the weekend as they continued to carry over momentum from last season and be a key duo for the Columbia doubles attack. First-years Gayathri Krishnan and Salma Farhat worked together to finish off an impressive 2-1 mark in doubles to start their Columbia careers.

The Lions also shined in singles play with Wang, Krishnan and junior Clarine Lerby finishing the weekend 3-0 in singles action. Haynes, junior Fatima Keita, Farhat and junior Sophia Strugnell each went 2-0 in singles this weekend. Junior Carolyn Brodsky was 1-0 in singles as she earned her first win of the fall Sunday.

UP NEXT
The next event on the fall schedule is the Cissie Leary Tournament hosted by Penn. The Lions will travel to Philadelphia to compete starting on Friday, September 22. The tournaments wraps up on Sunday, September 24.
