AMHERST, MA – The #13 Amherst College women's tennis team competed in a home doubleheader on Saturday on their outdoor courts. They opened the day with a convincing 6-1 win versus the #52 Hamilton College Continentals in a NESCAC matchup. Next, the #13 Mammoths fell to the #11 MIT Engineers with a score of 5-2 in a non-conference match.

Up Next: With the loss, Amherst moves to 10–5 overall and 6–3 in NESCAC play. The Mammoths return to action on Saturday at 1:30 PM, hosting the #14 Babson College Beavers in their final regular season match. Weather permitting, the contest will take place on Amherst's outdoor courts and will serve as Senior Day—honoring Amy Cui, Mia Kintiroglou, Katie Hart, and Deliala Friedman for their contributions to the program.

  • Against Hamilton, Amherst swept all three doubles matches to earn the opening point, highlighted by a 6–0 win at #3 doubles from senior Mia Kintiroglou and sophomore Greta Stechschulte.
  • In the singles matches versus the Continentals, senior Amy Cui delivered a dominant 6–2, 6–1 victory at second singles to extend Amherst's lead. Junior Sophie Diop and first-year Tina She secured straight-set wins at third and fourth singles, respectively.
  • In the MIT match, Amherst again claimed the doubles point with wins at the second and third spots. Tina She picked up her second singles win of the day, defeating Alaina Kolli 6–2, 6–2 at the fifth spot.
