ASHLAND, Va. – Second-seeded Randolph-Macon College made quick work of number-seven Guilford College, 5-0, in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Tournament quarterfinal Saturday at the Banks Tennis Center.
The Yellow Jackets (16-1), ranked 17th in this week’s Intercollegiate Tennis Association South Atlantic Region Poll, advance to the tourney semifinals to play third-seeded Roanoke College, a 5-1 winner over Bridgewater College Saturday. The semifinals and finals will take place May 7-8 at Washington and Lee University.
Randolph-Macon won each of the three doubles matches by identical 8-1 scores. Caitlin Delmas and Sid Corrigan downed Guilford’s Katie Claggett and Riley Caruana at first doubles.
