JOHNSON, Vt. (September 29, 2019) – The SUNY Delhi women's tennis team closed out their NAC season Sunday with a visit to Northern Vermont Johnson. Coming into Johnson off a thrilling 5-4 victory over NVU Lyndon on Saturday, the Broncos came up on the opposite end of that score in a defeat to the Badgers.

Delhi earned a doubles win and split the singles competition for its four victories. The two doubles tandem of Madison Saleman and Susan Hoskins defeated Kayla Hammond and Iris Serrano, 8-4. They went on to capture their singles matches, as Saleman beat Serrano at four by matching 6-2 scores, while Hoskins triumphed in three sets over Kristen Tirrito, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Hailey Gundersen was the Broncos' remaining victor, winning at two singles against Samantha Kershner, 6-1 and 6-0.

The Badgers won one doubles, 8-5, and three singles, 8-3. They handily took the remaining singles contests: 6-0, 6-1 at one, 6-0, 6-2 at three, and 6-1, 6-0 at six.

The defeat took the ladies out of the running for the NAC Tournament, set to take place next weekend. Their season is not over yet, though, as they head to New York City in two weeks for a pair of weekend matches to wrap up their season. They play Pratt on Saturday, Oct. 12 and Vaughn on Sunday, Oct. 13 at the USTA Tennis Center in Queens, the site of the U.S. Open.
