GOSHEN, Ind. - Little resistance was found for Grace's women's tennis team on Wednesday in the Crossroads League opener.

The Lady Lancers blanked Goshen 9-0 on the road, only dropping one game across all matches.

The Maple Leafs started in a deficit as a lack of eligible players forced forfeits at No. 5 and 6 singles and No. 3 doubles. As a result, Shelby Bankson and Briana Diehl earned free wins for the Lady Lancers (2-0, 1-0 CL).

Emily Mast at No. 1 singles was perfect with a 6-0, 6-0 win. Jenna Jackson at No. 3 singles and Molly Fitzpatrick at No. 4 were also spotless on the scoresheet.

Additionally, Carrie Copeland won easily at No. 2 singles 6-1, 6-0.

In doubles' play, Copeland and Mast claimed an 8-0 win at No. 1 doubles, and Fitzpatrick and Jackson teamed up for the same scoreline at No. 2.

"Our ladies came in and did what they needed to pick up our first conference win of the year," said Grace head coach Marcus Moore. "I was pleased with their focus today."

The Lady Lancers on Thursday travel to Valparaiso for a 4 p.m. match. On Saturday, Grace returns to Miller Field for an 11 a.m. contest against Huntington.
