WILLIAMSVILLE, NY – The University at Buffalo's women's tennis team rolled to a 7-0 victory over visiting Duquesne on Saturday to improve their record to 5-0. The match was played indoors at the Village Glen Tennis Center. With the loss, Duquesne drops to 4-2 and posts a 1-1 mark on their trip to Western New York.

The Bulls swept all three doubles matches with the number three duo of Smaranda Stan (Stantu Gheorghe, Romania/Economic) and Katrin Fischer (Ternitz, Austria/Borg) rallying from a 4-2 deficit and win the next six games for an 8-2 victory over Andrea Sailer and Alex Albano and clinching the doubles point. UB's number two team of Natalie Dean (Feilding, New Zealand/Palmerston North) and Tina Jacob (Singapore/Raffles JC) needed a tiebreaker to down Johanna Bezjak and Rachel McGowan 8-7 (5).

In singles UB rolled to six wins with freshman Denise Harijanto (Jakarta, Indonesia), playing her first match at number one, scoring an easy 6-0, 6-2 win over Bezjak. Miglena Nenova (Rousse, Bulgaria/Eurointellect), at number two, also cruised with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Jacqueline Hughes, and tied Kristen Ortman's all-time singles victory record at 59. Dean, Stan, Jacob and Diana Toia (Rochester, NY/Brighton) also won singles contests on Saturday.

The Bulls now travel to Central New York with dates against Colgate and Cornell next weekend.
