Etown Defeats League Rival Lebanon Valley, 7-2

ANNVILLE, Pa. --- Sweeping all six singles matches in straight sets en route to a 7-2 road victory over Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth League rival Lebanon Valley Saturday, Elizabethtown improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the league in 2003.

First-year number one singles player Stacy Shapiro (Audubon, PA/Methacton) picked up a 6-2, 6-1 victory for Etown, and number two Lisa Abel (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown) won by an identical score. Mel Parenteau (Marydel, MD/North Caroline) and Lisa Mervine (Reading, PA/Governor Mifflin) each won 6-2, 6-0, at number three and number four singles, respectively. Heather Lander (Accident, MD/Northern Garrett), playing in the number five singles spot for the first time in her collegiate career, won 6-3, 6-1, and Kristy Trimbey (Doylestown, PA/Central Bucks West) won 6-0, 6-2 at number six for Etown.

Despite their domination of the singles matches, the Blue Jays struggled in doubles play, as only one of Etown's three doubles teams posted wins. The lone doubles victory came at number three courtesy of Mervine and Trimbey, who defeated their opponents 8-3.
