EASTON, Pa. (www.lafayette.edu) - Lafayette's women's tennis team dropped a 6-0 decision to Colgate on Sunday at the Westend Racquet Club indoor facility. The teams played only the six singles matches and moved the event indoors due to inclement weather.

The Raiders swept all six singles pairings in straight sets. Ali Kelley (Little Silver, N.J./Red Bank Catholic), playing No. 4 singles, and Meghan Fitzgerald (Fairfield, Conn./Lauralton Hall Academy), at No. 6 singles, were the only Leopards to win at least three games in any set.

Colgate's Jackie Couture and Jamie Maldow recorded 6-0, 6-1 wins at second and third singles, respectively.

Lafayette (10-8 overall, 0-4 Patriot League) returns to Sullivan Courts on Wednesday, hosting Army in a Patriot League match at 3 p.m.
