BUFFALO, N.Y. – The momentum was hard to maintain for the Lady Baron Tennis team after Saturday's win, falling to the D'Youville College Spartans, 7-2. It was day two in the team's New York trip for conference play, earning a win the day before against Medaille College. The Lady Barons now stand 1-2 overall on the season and 1-1 in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

The Franciscan University Lady Barons showed strength in their singles play against Medaille, but were swept off the court against D'Youville. Franciscan earned only one win in each singles and doubles events.

"We just need to play more," said head coach Curtis Allen. "We need more experience.  We have young players and a very young program, and we need more time on the court to grow."

Number five seed Lyndsay Nadeau earned Franciscan's only singles victory with set scores of 6-1, 6-4. Lady Baron doubles combo Kiah Christiansen and Amanda Boik again came through for a win, 9-8(6), in the number three spot.

"Kiah and Amanda have been really playing well. They have had some really tough matches and persevered this weekend," Allen said.

The Lady Barons will take on Washington and Jefferson College this Wednesday to try and earn another season win. The match will start at 4 p.m. on Franciscan's Belleview Park courts.
