QUEENS, N.Y.—Snapping a two-match skid, Sarah Lawrence College women's tennis defeated Hudson Valley Women's Athletic Conference (HVWAC) opponent St. Joseph's College Brooklyn, 9-0, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Tuesday night.

Sarah Lawrence (5-4, 3-1 HVWAC) defeated the Bears by winning 84 of 96 games, blanking St. Joseph's (1-5, 1-1 HVWAC) in four positions.

Beginning in singles action, first-year player Nora Landes (Los Angeles, Calif., Cleveland/Humanities Magnet) shutout her opponent, 10-0, in the top overall position, while classmate Sarah Fiordaliso (Amherst, N.Y., Sweet Home) duplicated the feat in the No. 5 match.
