Siena Women's Tennis pulled out a 4-3 conference-opening victory against Mount St. Mary's behind the play of
Emma Boggiali, who gutted out a third set tie-breaking win from the singles #5 position.
Once again, the Saints relied on their depth to get it done with freshman
Madeline De Faber-Schumacher earning another victory from the singles #6 spot and
Alexa Wilson, who won her #3 singles match in straight sets.
Siena (6-9 overall, 1-0 MAAC) picked up the doubles point by winning all three matches from the duos of Wilson/

Laia Giralt.
