Fifth-year student-athlete
Meagan Brown inched closer to etching her name atop the Siena's Women's Tennis record books, junior
Alexa Wilson had another big day and the Saints rolled past Monmouth 6-1 to claim their third consecutive victory on Sunday afternoon at Tri-City Fitness in Latham.
Brown and Wilson paired once together to earn a 6-2 win over Ann Spurka and Lauren Landstrom at the doubles #1 flight.
The win for Brown was significant in that it tied her with Ali Garrity (2013-2017) for most doubles wins all-time in program history with 53.
From the #1 singles position, Brown also won in straight sets by the scores of 6-2, 6-0 over Spurka.
The win put Brown in sole possession of fourth all-time in singles victories with 47 after entering the day in a three-way tie with Denisa Hluchova (2002-2006) and Allysa Singh (2012-2016), who each had 46 career singles wins.
Brown has a realistic opportunity to catch Julia Lebedev (2003-2007), who finished with 50 wins and Mitsuki Fakamachi (2013-2017), who closed with 53 wins. Sarah Mayer (2005-2009) remains the all-time leader in program history with 70 victories.
Wilson also was a two-time winner on the day, earning a 6-2, 6-4 triumph against Landstrom at the singles #3 position.
Senior
Maanya Viswanath and
Shelby Madeiros teamed together at doubles #2 to provide the Saints with the doubles' point after picking up a 6-2 win against Lana Brezanin and Jordyn Pax.

Madeline De Faber-Schumacher and

De Faber-Schumacher improved to a team-best record of 12-3 in singles play this season by earning a 7-6 (11), 6-0 win against Pax at the singles #6 position.
