Fitzgerald Becomes Elmira’s All-Time Wins Leader
PINE VALLEY, N.Y. -- Senior
Megan Fitzgerald '18 reached another milestone in her illustrious four-year career this afternoon, as the Thomaston, Connecticut, native became Elmira College's all-time wins leader in women's tennis. Fitzgerald picked up wins at No. 1 singles and doubles, which increased her career win total to 75, surpassing former teammate Ayaka Yoshino '16 for the college's all-time record.
Fitzgerald, who tied the college's wins record a week ago, also moved into a two-way tie for first place in EC history for career singles wins this afternoon as well. She ties Yoshino for the top spot, as both Soaring Eagles sit atop the leaderboard with 37 all-time singles victories. Additionally, Fitzgerald is one doubles win shy of tying EC's all-time doubles wins record, as she heads into tomorrow's match against Fredonia with 38 career doubles victories.
The record-breaking win came at the No. 1 doubles position, as Fitzgerald and freshman
Katy Jewett '21 teamed up for a one-sided 8-2 victory. With the win, the duo improved to 6-1 on the year and extended their win streak to four consecutive matches.
