LANCASTER, Pa. - In their home and Centennial Conference (CC) opener, Franklin & Marshall's women's tennis team put on a show, sweeping Ursinus by a 9-0 score on Saturday afternoon at Brooks Tennis Center.

The Diplomats brought their season record to 5-2, 1-0 CC with the team's fourth straight win and second consecutive 9-0 victory, while the Bears had a four-match winning streak snapped and fell to 6-2, 0-1 CC.

By the Numbers

The No. 25 nationally-ranked doubles duo of Nicole Russo and Allison Wolters continued their winning ways by blanking their opponents 8-0 at the No. 1 position.
