Freshman Framm comes through to help women's tennis edge Drew

Story Links

MADISON, N.J. -- Freshman Ava Framm, playing in her first career match, won the deciding point in a second-set tiebreaker Saturday as the Elizabethtown College women's tennis team remained perfect in Landmark Conference play with a 5-4 win at Drew.

The Blue Jays fell behind 2-1 after doubles, but stepped up in singles to win 4-of-6 and avenge last year's regular season loss to the Rangers.

Framm was inserted into the lineup with regular starter Laura Gribble unavailable for Saturday's match. The Owings Mills, Maryland native came up huge with a 7-5, 7-6 (4) victory over Xylia Bruff with the match tied 4-4.

Elizabethtown (6-3, 3-0 Landmark) also got singles wins from No. 1 Lenea Riehl, No. 3 Amber Burd and No. 4 Sarah Donner. Riehl and Meghan Chemidlin topped Drew's Ty Ty Witten and Kathryn Swenor, 8-4, at No. 1 doubles.

Riehl's fantastic run continued with a 7-5, 6-3 triumph over Maria Navas Espinal at first singles. The sophomore has won four straight in both singles and doubles and has not lost since the Jays returned from their Spring Break trip to Orlando.

Burd, meanwhile, increased her singles winning streak to four matches with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Cristina Riccio.

Chemidlin took Witten, a 2017 All-Landmark First Team Singles pick, to three sets after claiming the first 6-4, but the Rangers' (7-4, 1-2) junior prevailed with 6-3 and 6-1 wins in the second and third.

Elizabethtown and Scranton, the last two unbeaten teams left in the conference, will meet tomorrow with the Landmark Championship's No. 1 seed likely at stake. Due to heavy rain in the forecast for Sunday, the match is being moved indoors to Wisehaven Tennis Center in York, Pennsylvania (2989 E Prospect Rd, York, PA 17402). The match will begin at 11:30 a.m., instead of the regularly scheduled 1 p.m.
