Freshman
Lauren Stellato (Old Westbury, NY/Friends Academy) is currently
3-0, leading the Union College Dutchwomen through the beginning of a
successful season. Last week
Stellato began her crusade by defeating Eileen Widman of Hamilton College,
6-1, 6-1, and went on to dominate St. Lawrence University's Johnna Nigh,
6-1, 7-5, and Clarkson University's Tara Fornaro, 6-2, 6-2. Her performances out of the No. 1 singles position combined with
her 3-0 doubles record, also out of the No. 1 spot, proved to be enough as
she was named the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association's “Tennis
Player of the Week.” Stellato and partner, junior Susan Yoo
(Muskogee, OK), prevailed over last week's challenges, winning, 9-8 (2), 8-2 and 8-0, respectively, while helping the Dutchwomen open the
season with an impressive 3-0 record.
