BRONX, N.Y. — The Pratt Institute women's tennis team claimed the doubles point and won five of six singles courts on the way to a 6-1 CUNY Athletic Conference victory over Baruch College on Friday evening at Stadium Tennis Center.

maintained its unblemished record on the season by taking two doubles flights and capturing four straight-set singles matches alongside a third-set match tiebreak. Baruch (6-4, 3-2 CUNYAC) earned points at top doubles and top singles but was unable to halt the Cannoneers' run.

Pratt (6-0, 4-0 CUNYAC) captured the doubles point with consecutive victories on courts two and three. Judith Song (Sharon, Mass.) and sophomore Olivia Tao (Ann Arbor, Mich.) finished first with a 6-1 win over at No. 2 doubles. Sophia Schafler (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and first-year Elva Yu (Spring, Texas) clinched the doubles point on court three with a 6-0 win at love. The Bearcats took the final doubles match, as Aishika Yadav and Anusha Yadav defeated senior Pallavi Verghese (Fayetteville, Ark.) and senior Beatrice Crespo (Kearny, N.J.) 6-2 at the No. 1 position.

Pratt quickly stretched its advantage in singles play. Yu opened the scoring with a quick 6-0, 6-0 victory over at No. 5 singles, and Song followed at No. 3 singles by conceding just one game in a 6-1, 6-0 triumph.

Crespo clinched the overall team victory for the Cannoneers at No. 2 singles. The senior posted a 6-2, 6-2 win over Anusha Yadav to secure Pratt's fourth team point of the night.

Baruch earned its lone point of the match on court one, where Verghese suffered her first defeat of the season falling to 2025 CUNYAC Player of the Year Aishika Yadav 6-4, 6-2, who maintained her unblemished singles record. 

The Cannoneers closed out the contest with wins on the remaining two courts. Schafler picked up a 6-1, 6-1 victory at No. 6, and Tao completed a comeback on court four. After dropping the opening set 6-3 to Calvo Prado, Tao rebounded with a 6-4 win in the second set before dominating the 10-point match tiebreak to finish a 3-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-2) triumph.
