WEST WINDSOR, N.J. — The LIU women's tennis team is one win from the NEC Championship.
The top-seeded Sharks swept fourth-seeded St. Francis Brooklyn, 4-0, in a semifinal on Saturday.
LIU now advances to the championship against second-seeded Sacred Heart on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Against St. Francis Brooklyn, the Sharks won the doubles point, then got straight-set wins from
Victoria Erechtchenko at first singles,
Leo Boisseau at second singles and
Saki Oyama at third singles to close out the match.
"It was a solid performance from us today," coach
Jan Griga said. "We had to deal with some weather moving through the area, so the matches were moved indoors. It's a credit to the team for adjusting very quickly and taking care of business in a straightforward fashion.
"We are ready and confident going into Sunday's final."
