EMMITSBURG, Md. – The George Mason University women's tennis team won its second match of the weekend Sunday, claiming a 6-1 victory at Mt. St. Mary's in Emmitsburg.

After defeating Delaware State 6-1 in Fairfax on Saturday, Mason won by the same score Sunday on the strength of some solid play across the roster.
 
"The girls battled well in tough and windy conditions," head coach Steve Curtis said. "We're still improving, especially in the area of consistency. We will look to continue to make strides in that area both individually and collectively."
 
Mason won two of three doubles matches to open the day. Freshmen Hannah Harrod and Jackie Nannery began the scoring with a 6-4 victory at No. 2 doubles. Then, the Patriots' No. 1 team of senior Sydney Green and sophomore Brianna Gibbs showed great focus in a tight match, claiming an 8-6 tiebreaker victory to win the contest, 7-6. That win clinched the doubles point for the Green & Gold.
 
In singles, Mason quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead after wins at No. 5 and No. 6. Nannery swept Pittman of Mt. St. Mary's, 6-0, 6-0. Then, sophomore Kayleigh Hahn claimed victory in straight sets (6-1, 6-2) to help Mason get within a point of clinching.
 
The Patriots received that point soon after, as Gibbs took care of business (6-4, 6-4) at No. 2 to give Mason the 4-0 edge.
 
The Green & Gold also benefited from strong performances in two other singles victories. At No. 3, sophomore Hannah Yang won in two sets (6-4, 6-4) over Hannah Davis of Mt. St. Mary's.
 
Harrod also claimed victory at No. 4. After falling in her first set (6-3), she rebounded to win the second, 6-1. Then in a super tiebreaker, Harrod outlasted her opponent 10-8 to take the win.
 
Mason returns to action with a pair of home matches next weekend. The Patriots host Delaware on Friday at 2:30 p.m. Then, the Green & Gold battle Coppin State on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Mason Tennis Complex.
