NEW LONDON, Conn. -- The Bates women's tennis team defeated Connecticut College 8-1 on Saturday for the Bobcats' third consecutive victory and third NESCAC victory of the season.

Bates (6-10, 3-4 NESCAC) won all three doubles matches and five out of six singles matches, four times in straight sets.

Sophomore Bella Stone (Concord, Mass.) and junior Maisie Silverman (Brunswick, Maine) paired up for an 8-0 win oer Emily Migliorini and Stephanie Simon at No. 1 doubles for Bates. Meanwhile senior Elizabeth Erbafina (Sudbury, Mass.) and first-year Isabelle Rovinski (New York, N.Y.) posted an 8-5 win over Aleksandra Drljaca and Angelica Warren at No. 2 doubles, and senior Kate Rosenthal (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and first-year Lauren Hernandez (Chester, N.J.) defeated Adrienne Sieverding and Brinley Bartlett 8-6 at No. 3.

The Camels (6-8, 0-6 NESCAC) earned their lone point with Drljaca's three-set victory (6-4, 4-6, 6-3) over Silverman at No. 1 singles. But Erbafina, Stone, Rovinski, Rosenthal and senior Olivia Voccola (Falmouth, Maine) swept singles matches two through six, respectively, for the win.

Bates will host Colby on Tuesday at 4pm, then wrap up the regular season at home against Wesleyan next Saturday at 10am.
