RICHMOND, Indiana – The Earlham College women's tennis team picked up a hard fought 5-4 victory against Capital University on Thursday.

Earlham started the match strong taking two out of three doubles. Senior Arrita Domi paired with freshman Kathryn Hulleman to take third doubles 8-3. At second doubles, junior Yunjoo Shin and freshman Alexandra Canaday fought back from 1-6 down to win the match 9-7 in an absolute thriller.

In singles, Shin continued her undefeated singles season with a swift 6-2, 6-0 victory. Canaday fell behind a break early in her match, but came up with a 6-4, 6-3 win to put her team on the brink. Hulleman shook off some early nerves and came back from 1-4 in the first set to win her match 6-4, 6-4 and clinch the overall match for the Quakers.

This is the first time since the 2013-2014 season that Earlham has started off its season 2-1. The Quakers will look to continue to improve their record as they take on Hanover College to open Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) play this Saturday at noon.
