PHILADELPHIA - The Temple women's tennis team played its first match of the season, defeating three-time defending Atlantic 10 Conference champion Richmond, 4-3, at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Center Saturday afternoon. The Owls (1-0) travel to St. Peter's for a Sunday match while Richmond falls to 0-3.
I am really excited with how we played," said third-year head coach Traci Green. "Everybody stepped up. We saw where we are now, but we still have much room for improvement and we need to stay focused the remainder of the season."
Green lauded the efforts of two individuals, sophomore Felicia Frazier and freshman Radka Fernancova defeated Ashlee Vosters, 6-2, 7-5 at third singles while Frazier bested Jelena Zivanovic, 6-4, 6-4 at sixth singles to clinch the win.
