ORLANDO, Fla. - The Seton Hall tennis team won its second straight match, a 6-1 defeat of Robert Morris to conclude its spring break trip. The Pirates (3-9) were still shorthanded, but won every match they competed in.
Freshman Pui Wing Sher (Shui Wai, Hong Kong) continued her dominant week, taking out Clarissa Chen 6-0, 6-1 in No. 1 singles. The game she dropped in the second set was her first concession in three matches. Sophomore Karina Cordero (Maracay Estado Aragua, Venezuela) was impressive in her first match back after injury, winning in the No. 4 spot 6-1, 6-0 over Carla Limon.
SHU had to re-form its doubles pairs after senior Belfin Sunbul (Izmir, Turkey) left the lineup due to injury. Sher teamed with junior Courtney Kilarski (Roseville, Calif.) and easily topped the Colonials pair of Carolina Mourao Teixeira and Limon.
The Pirates return to action on Friday, March 18, when they travel to Morgantown, to face off against West Virginia. First-serve is set for 3:00 p.m.
