Newburgh, N.Y. – The Mount Saint Mary College Women's Tennis team closed out a three match weekend home stand Sunday afternoon with an 8-1 non-conference loss to Plattsburgh. Freshman Michelle Carnovale (Massapequa, N.Y.) remained unblemished on the season with the Knights' only victory in the match.

Although the Mount only one the first singles match on Sunday, the top doubles pair of Carnovale and Alissa Gileau (East Granby, Conn.) nearly pulled out a win at first doubles, dropping a hard fought match, 8-6.
 
Sunday's loss drops Mount Saint Mary to 3-5 overall on the season. The Knights will continue the 2016 season on Tuesday when they travel to Skyline Conference rival Yeshiva. Match time with the Maccabees is scheduled for 8:00 p.m.
