St. Mary's City, Md. - The St. Mary's College of Maryland women's tennis team bounced back from Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Goucher College with an 8-0 shutout of Southern Virginia University in non-conference action Friday evening.

Tonight's win also helped the Seahawks (8-3) surpass last year's win-loss record of 7-7-1.

The tandem of captains Sarah Weisse (Sykesville, Md./South Carroll) and Michelle Compton (Havre de Grace, Md./Tome) extended their win streak to seven straight matches at No. 1 doubles with a decisive 8-1 win over freshman Rachel Baldwin (Concord, Calif.) and Kayla Bridge. 

Freshman Kathleen Ramsey (Dunkirk, Md./Northern) notched a 6-0, 6-0 straight set victory over Mackenzie Litchfield at No. 6 singles to bolster her win streak to seven in a row.

The Seahawks return to action tomorrow with a Capital Athletic Conference match in Dover, Delaware against Wesley College at noon.
