DUDLEY, MASS. (9/19/23). – The Nichols Women's Tennis team opened their 2023 Commonwealth Coast Conference season with a commanding 7-2 victory over Roger Williams University at the Robinson Tennis Courts.
 
The Bison remain undefeated at 2-0 on the season, and Roger Williams falls to 5-2 with the loss.

The Bison came away with two of the three doubles victories, With Antonia Carrero / Charis Vogler (8-4) picking up the win at No. 1 doubles, and Sofia Leonardi / Johanna Schroeder (8-6) getting the win in the No. 3 position.
 
In singles action, Carrero, Vogler, and Jordan Knowles were all able to win their matchups in straight sets. With Schroeder, and freshman Cora Brosch being able to secure their wins with tiebreak sets. The match marked the first CCC win for Brosch.
 
The Bison secured the 5^th point and win with Vogler's win at No. 2 singles.

Nichols head coach Ron Gendron shared his thoughts following the match: "Roger Williams constantly is scrappy and makes a lot of balls, and make things difficult. We need to put things away a little bit earlier and not let it become a match. Credit to their team, they fought hard. Next is Endicott, who is the clear favourite in the conference, we now look to that day to go in and do some damage."

Next, the Bison will head to the ITA Tournament in Middletown, Conn. (Wesleyan) at the John Wood Memorial Tennis Courts. The weekend long event kicks off on Friday September 22^nd. They then turn to a CCC matchup against Endicott on September 26^th.
