BOSTON, Mass. — The Western Connecticut State University women's tennis team dropped a 7-0 match to UMass Boston in the Little East Conference opener on Saturday. The Wolves dropped to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the league, while the Beacons improved to 2-1 and 1-0.

At No. 5 Singles, Kate Robinson (Brookfield, Conn.) dropped the first set 6-0 to Maya Rubenstein but rallied back in the second after being down 0-3 and came back to win four straight games. Despite the sophomore's effort, she couldn't hold on to force a third set.

"We knew UMass Boston was a solid team, but we were more focused on ourselves and being better all-around tennis players from our previous match," said WestConn head coach Shawn Stillman following the action. "With each day forward, our goals are to improve."

WestConn hosts its first home match against Bard College on Monday at 4 p.m.
