Introduction

Stevens Institute of Technology finally figured out how to stop the Rensselaer women’s tennis team; they didn’t play them.

The Engineers, who currently remain undefeated with a 6-0 record, had their match with Stevens rained out this Saturday, but weather has been the only thing slowed RPI this season. Just ask the Hartwick women’s tennis team.

The Hawks battled Rensselaer Wednesday, making up a match that was postponed earlier in the season, in what proved to be the Engineers’ most challenging match of the season.

That said, RPI still convincingly defeated Hartwick 7-2. Rensselaer has now lost just three individual matches in six contests.

The Engineers garnered their sixth win by destroying Russell Sage 9-0 for the second time this year.

The Liberty League recognized Raimi Ishikawa and Emily Emerick for their outstanding contributions to the team over the past week.

Raimi Ishikawa of Mililani, Hawaii, the team’s number one singles player, received the Performer of the Week title after a 6-2, 6-2 win in singles over the Hawks’ Mara Tichy and an 8-6 victory in top doubles with Emerick in the Hartwick match.

Emerick, the team’s number two singles player, was named Rookie of the Week after winning 6-3, 6-0 against Amanda Gerich of Hartwick and 6-0, 6-0 versus Charlotte Hays of Russell Sage. Emerick has been honored by the Liberty League in three consecutive weeks.

Lydia Lindhult, in the number three slot, won both of her matches and was named Rookie of the Week two weeks ago.
