ANNAPOLIS, Md. - On Saturday the George Mason University women's tennis team traveled to Annapolis to take on Navy. Mason fell 0-7.
 
Catalina Rico and Aimee Dervishian of Navy defeated the Mason duo of Sydney Green and Rachel Lee at the No. 1 position, 6-3. The Patriots leveled the doubles at 1 all when Morgan Yang and Nicole Haigwood bested Isabel Balsavage and Simona Babb at No. 3 doubles, 6-4. Navy clinched the point at No. 2 doubles when Sabrina Jiang and Meghan O'Malley outlasted Scarlett Walston and Olivia Lacy-Thompson, 7-6 (7-4).
 
"We had our chances today in the doubles," head coach Steve Curtis said. "It came down to a few points in each of the matches. We had momentum at times but couldn't manage to hold on."
 
In the singles match-ups Mason lost in straight sets at each position except for No. 2. Morgan Yang and Josie Rogers split the first two sets. In the third set tie-breaker Yang fell 6-10.
 
"Tennis is an individual sport and some of our young players still have to buy into the team concept," added Curtis. "Once we learn to play and act like a team we will win many more of our big point opportunities. It will come."
 
Mason moves to 3-2 on the season. The Patriots are back on court on February 11th when they travel to Elkton, MD to take on Delaware at 6 p.m.
