Glenside, Pa. (Sept. 24, 2009) - Junior Jenny McKee (York, Pa/York Catholic) and freshman Kayla Morgan (Mohrsville, Pa./Hamburg) combined to earn three points and Alvernia University (7-0, 2-0) remained unbeaten with a 5-4 win at Arcadia University (6-3, 0-2) in Commonwealth Conference women's tennis action Thursday afternoon.

McKee and Morgan earned a 9-7 win at No. 1 doubles while the Scarlet Knights took the No. 2 doubles match by the same score handing Lauren Ertel (Wyomissing, Pa./Wyomissing) and Lil Snyder (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter Strasburg) their first doubles loss of the year.  Arcadia also took the No. 3 doubles match to head to singles with a 2-1 lead in the match.

Needing four points out of six singles matches, that's exactly what the Crusaders got.

McKee and Ertel both won by identical 6-2, 6-2 scores at No. 1 and No. 2 singles respectively and Snyder and Morgan also won in straight sets at No. 3 and 4 to give Alvernia just what it needed to keep the streak alive.

The Crusaders finish up a three game streak of road matches traveling to Lebanon Valley next Wednesday.
