STEUBENVILLE, OHIO - Franciscan women's tennis defeated Geneva College on Tuesday afternoon in the Presidents' Athletic Conference quarterfinals by a score of 4-2. With the win, the Barons advance to the PAC semifinals for the seventh straight season.

Doubles
Jordan Beltavski and Colette Park were in #1 doubles, losing 6-2 in the opening match. Paige Mattle and Hazel Mistry were at the #2 spot, also falling in their match, so the #3 pair of Sophia Pastura and Elizabeth Swift were unable to complete their match as the visitors won the doubles point.

The Golden Tornadoes quickly made it 2-0, as Beltavski fell in two sets at #1 singles. Park won in two sets at #2 (6-1, 6-3), and Mistry won at #4 in two sets (6-4, 6-2) to knot the score at two. In #5, Pastura won at #5 in two sets by scores of 6-0, 6-2 to put Franciscan on the brink of winning the quarterfinal matchup. Swift sealed the win at #6, winning set one 6-1 and set two 7-5 before Mattle's singles match reached a decision. With Swift's win, Franciscan accomplished the 4-2 decision and cemented a spot in the PAC semifinals.
