Sabile’s Match Win Gives Army Perfect Weekend

WEST POINT – Army West Point Women’s Tennis was pushed to the brink Saturday by UConn, trying to secure an unbeaten weekend late Saturday afternoon.

Enter Jenna Sabile, No. 2 singles.

With the Black Knights winners of matches vs. Stony Brook Friday and St. Bonaventure earlier Saturday, the Huskies forced Army to go the distance to secure its third team win of the weekend.

Sabile, already winners of two singles matches across the weekend, finished a combined 3-0 in singles and 4-0 overall Friday and Saturday. She had to overcome a first set loss to UConn’s Maria Constantinou to secure both her’s and her team’s unbeaten mark.

In the final set, the firstie held serve to go ahead 6-5, before breaking serve at 40-40 deciding point to win the third set 7-5.

Earlier, UConn took the doubles point with ease, forcing Army to battle back in singles.

Facing a 2-0 deficit after one singles match completed, the Black Knights used wins from Emma Sy, Ylan Duong and Allison Harris to set up Sabile’s heroics.
