Rochester 9, Nazareth 0 (Box Score)
Host Rochester dominated Nazareth Thursday in a non-conference women's tennis match. The Yellowjackets won all six singles contests in straight sets in a 9-0 victory over the Golden Flyers.

Nazareth, at 3-3 overall, visits Ithaca Saturday for an Empire 8 Conference match at 1 p.m.

Against Rochester, Nazareth played without its top singles player in senior Alison Tepas, who has 95 career victories. That pushed everyone up one spot with the closest match coming at fourth singles, where senior Krista Pagan lost 6-2, 6-3 to UR's Lauren Zickar.

Pagan and sophomore Ami Petosa also lost a close match at second doubles, falling 8-6 to UR's tandem of Zickar and Janice Zhao.
