Women's Tennis Falls to #1 Albright in MAC Commonwealth Semis, 5-2

Reading, Pa. (April 30, 2024) - #1 Albright College defeated #4 Alvernia University, 5-2, in the MAC Commonwealth Women's Tennis semifinal on Tuesday afternoon at Albright. 

The Golden Wolves led the Lions 2-1 after doubles play. #1 doubles partners Leah Bouchard and Lily Summerson took their match 8-4, and an 8-6 win at #2 doubles from Jililan Laughman and Monica Nguyen gave Alvernia the 2-1 lead heading into singles.

The Lions had fresh life going into singles action. The Lions evened the match at 2-2 following a win at #3 singles, and took the 3-2 lead with a win at #5 singles. Albright then took #6 singles to lead 4-2.

With #1, #2, and #4 singles still in play, Albright needed just one more team point to seal the match. The Lions got it at #1 singles where reigning Player of the Year Alex Pancu of Albright defeated Leah Bouchard, 6-4, 6-3. That outcome put the match out of reach for Alvernia as #2 and #4 singles went unfinished for Laughman and Nguyen. 

The loss marks the conclusion of Alvernia's 2023-24 season.
