Freshman Carly Holloway teamed with junior Danielle Crill to capture the Flight-B doubles title at this past weekend's Marist Invitational. The title highlighted a useful weekend for several of Siena's top players, who got to play against some of the top talent across the region.

"Overall, it was a good tournament for us I was pleased with the way the doubles teams played," Head Coach Andy Christodoulou said. "Everyone competed hard and we won a lot of matches. The two seniors Jess Asselin and Jen Messing stood out in doubles in this Tournament, and obviously Carly and Danielle were very impressive all weekend."
