The University of New England women's tennis team, led by Bermudian head coach Jovan Jordan-Whitter, secured a dramatic 4-3 conference victory over the University of Saint Joseph (Conn.) at the Blue Cyclone Complex. The win was sealed in a thrilling three-set match, with Nora Hill delivering the decisive point.
The team's triumph improves their overall record to 5-1 and a 1-1 mark in the Conference of New England (CNE), while maintaining a perfect 4-0 record at home.
The match was a closely contested affair, with the two teams trading points throughout. However, it came down to the final singles match at the number two position. Nora Hill, showing incredible resilience, fought her way through a gruelling three-set slugfest to emerge victorious and clinch the much-needed win for the Nor'easters.
The victory not only puts the University of New England in a strong position early in the CNE season but also marks another significant achievement for Coach Jordan-Whitter, a former Bermuda Davis Cup player who is in his first season as head coach of the UNE men's and women's tennis programmes. His team is now well-positioned to make a run in the conference.
