PURCHASE, N.Y. - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) women's tennis team came off a 17-day break from matches and defeated Manhattanville College, 9-0, in a non-league contest. The Engineers lost just four games from No. 2-6 singles and all three doubles combined to improve to 1-1 in dual matches. The Valiants drop to 1-1.

After sweeping the doubles with identical 8-0 scores, Rensselaer won each of the first five singles matches while yielding just four games. Senior Andrea Valencia (No. 2) and freshmen Elise White (No. 5) and Elly Klages (No. 6) all won their matches at 6-0, 6-0.
