Returning home its first match since Feb. 18, the 17th-ranked Tribe defeated 60th-ranked University of Pennsylvania 7-0, and the College now stands at 13-1 on the season. The doubles duo of sophomore Klaudyna Kasztelaniec and freshman Lauren Sabacinski rallied from a 1-6 deficit to take down Penn’s number three doubles team 9-8 (7) in a tiebreaker to spur the Tribe on to victory. Last week, the CAA named freshman Ragini Acharya singles player of the week and senior Megan Moulton-Levy (left) and sophomore Katarina Zoricic — the nation’s number one doubles team — the CAA Doubles Team of the Week.

Women’s cross country and track and field Head Coach Kathy Newberry competed at the World Cross Country Championships in Mombasa, Kenya Saturday. Newberry raced to a 39th place finish and completed the 8-km course in 29 minutes 54 seconds as Team USA finished eighth in the 12-team field. High heat and humidity forced many competitors out of the race and considerably slowed the field. Netherlands’ Lornah Kiplagat captured the gold medal, finishing in 26:23, while Ethiopia won the team title over host-nation Kenya.
