York, Pa. – Junior Mollie Johnson (Hagerstown, Md./North Hagerstown) picked up the decisive win as the St. Mary's College of Maryland women's tennis team won their third straight Saturday afternoon by edging host York College of Pennsylvania, 5-4, to remain undefeated in Capital Athletic Conference action.

Johnson posted a 6-2, 6-2 victory over senior Emily Skutnik (Effort, Pa./Pleasant Valley) at No. 6 singles to complete a 3-0 run by the Seahawks, helping overcome a 3-2 deficit. St. Mary's was now up 5-3 with one match to go and the second conference victory of the season in hand.

The Seahawks (6-2, 2-0 CAC) entered singles play down 2-1 as the duo of Johnson and first-year Melissa Barall (Columbia, Md./Wilde Lake) were the team's only doubles winners, collecting an 8-5 win over senior Emily Price (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) and junior Megan Jones (Felton, Pa./Red Lion) at No. 2 doubles to avoid the doubles sweep.

Barall then notched a 6-2, 6-1 win over Price at No. 2 singles to even up the score at 2-2. First-year Katie Wagner (Glen Rock, Pa./Susquehannock) responded for York (3-5, 0-1 CAC) with a 6-2, 6-3 triumph over senior captain Shannon Ramsey (Dunkirk, Md./Northern) at No. 1 singles for the 3-2 YCP lead.

Junior Emily Rost (Gaithersburg, Md./Northwest) tied up the match once again with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over sophomore Mckenzie Krout (Red Lion, Pa./Red Lion) at No. 4 singles. Senior Emily Stumpfig (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) followed suit with a 6-2, 6-4 win over sophomore Darian Naill (New Windsor, Md./South Carroll) at No. 3 singles for a 4-3 Seahawk lead.
