Iva Gyurgina

NEW HAVEN, CONN. –The Seton Hall women’s tennis team was swept by Yale at the Cullman Courts on Sunday. The loss drops the Pirates’ dual-match record to 2-4 and the Bulldogs improve to 2-0.

Junior Iva Gyurgina (Radomir, Bulgaria) was the closest to earning a singles victory for Seton Hall. Gyurgina took the first set of the No. 6 match from Yale’s Christine Alford, 6-3, but Alford rebounded to take the second set, 6-3, and win the deciding set, 10-8.

In other singles action, senior Viviana Figueroa (Guaynabo, Puerto Rico) dropped the No. 1 match to Rashmee Patil, 6-2, 6-2, sophomore Amanda El-Tobgy (Pittsburgh, Pa.) fell to Janet Kim in No. 2 singles play, 6-0, 6-2, junior Sylvia Jaros (Scarborough, Ontario) lost to Aimee Kim in No. 3 singles, 6-1, 7-5, freshman Danielle Viola (Niagara Falls, N.Y.) lost the No. 4 singles match to Ashley Miles, 6-4, 6-1, and sophomore Nadja Sein (Tallinn, Estonia) was beaten by Olivia Nix in the No. 5 match, 6-2, 6-1.

Unlike in its first two matches of the spring, Seton Hall failed to take the doubles point. However, the doubles team of Figueroa and Sein, which had already garnered two victories over the weekend, was the most competitive for the Pirates. Figueroa and Sein dropped the No. 1 doubles match to Alford and Kim, 8-4.

Seton Hall returns to action this Saturday, Feb. 11, for its BIG EAST and home opener. The Pirates will host Georgetown at the Cameron Field Tennis Courts at 1:00 p.m.
