ITHACA, N.Y. – The Cleveland State women's tennis team wrapped up action at the Cornell Fall Invitational Sunday, with freshman Victoria Bensimon leading the way for the Vikings.
"We didn't have as good of a final day as I would have liked, but overall for our first tournament of the season we did okay," head coach Brian Etzkin said. "Victoria was the standout performer of the day, picking up a singles and doubles win for us. Throughout the weekend we were able to learn a lot about what we need to work on moving forward, and what we need to focus on to improve for next weekend."
Benismon posted CSU's lone singles victory on the day, earning a 6-1, 6-3 straight-set victory over Binghamton's Shea Brodsky in the consolation bracket of the B Flight. Bensimon was also part of CSU's doubles victory Sunday, as she teamed with Mathilde Orange for an 8-3 victory over a duo from Albany.
After reaching the finals of the C Flight with three wins over the first two days, Ellen Folkers fell in the championship match Sunday, 6-1, 6-0 to Madison Cohen of Akron.
The Vikings will continue action next weekend, competing in the Ball State Invitational from Friday, Sept. 20 through Sunday, Sept. 22.
