BENNINGTON, Vt.- September 30, 2015 - The Colby-Sawyer women's tennis team continued to roll through North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) East Division play on Wednesday with a 9-0 victory over the MCLA Trailblazers in a match moved indoors to the Bennington Tennis Center.
With the win, the Chargers remain unbeaten in NEAC East play at 5-0 and move to 10-1 on the season. The Trailblazers fall to 5-5 overall and stand at 2-3 heading into the final weekend of conference play.

Maddy Gemerek won 8-1 while
Aislinn O'Connor and
Evelyn Miller teamed to win 8-0. The third duo of
Christine Hill and

Because the tennis center only had three courts, the remaining matches were played with one pro style set. The Chargers won all three, including Blanchard and Hill winning 8-0.
Colby-Sawyer remains in the top spot in the conference standings heading into the weekend while MCLA is still alive for a playoff berth. The Trailblazers and Chargers will travel to Maine this weekend to battle both Husson and Thomas.
