STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – In their second match of the weekend, the Lady Barons beat Penn St. - Altoona 7-2, and secured their second place ranking in the AMCC with a conference record of 6-1.

This match was the last conference match of the 2013 season, which made it a vital win for the Lady Barons.

"This was just a big win. I'm proud of the girls for pulling out a 7-2 win," Head Coach Jenna Lynch said. "It solidified our spot at number two in the conference and it's going to give us a bye for the first weekend of conference play."

The Lady Barons came out strong right from the start, and won all three doubles matches. No. 2 and no. 3 doubles teams both beat their opponents 8-0. The no. 1 doubles team of sophomore Caeles Crunkleton-Wilson and junior Renata Crespo, won a tight match at 9-7.

"I was really proud of the no. 1 doubles for pulling out such a tight win," Lynch said.

The line-up for singles play was altered for the match because of the absence of the usual no. 5 singles player. Erin Coyne moved up to the no. 5 spot and Caroline Wilson played at no. 6. Regardless of moving up in the lineup, both players played a great match and beat their opponents.

"We didn't have Allie Jenson for today so we put in Caroline Wilson. She ended up being a good strong win for us at no. 6," Lynch said. "Erin got moved up to no. 5 and stayed solid at her game. She won 6-0, 6-0."

Coyne's win gives the freshman a perfect 7-0 record in conference play. The missing Jenson also finished conferece play undefeated 6-0 record.
