Huntingdon, Pa.? The Juniata College women?s tennis team played its tightest conference match of the season Wednesday afternoon, but the Eagles were unable to pull out a victory as the team dropped a 6-3 decision to conference foe Lebanon Valley. Juniata is now 4-3 on the year and 1-3 on Commonwealth action, while Lebanon Valley improved to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in conference.

Juniata got things started by taking one out of the three doubles matches. Ashley Andrews (Altoona/Altoona) and Caroline Weisser (York Suburban/York) claimed an 8-3 win at the first doubles position. Megan Carpenter (Huntingdon/Huntingdon) and Sarah Roby (Red Land/Lewisberry) played a tight match at third doubles before falling 8-5.

Each of the other singles matches were decided in straight sets.
