Stasiuk Records Milestones in Women’s Tennis Loss at RIT Sunday

Bowmansville native becomes all-time leader for career singles wins, now second in combined singles / doubles wins

When and Where: April 3, 2022 – Rochester, N.Y. (Midtown Athletic Club)
Score: RIT 6, Daemen 3
Records: Daemen 6-10, 2-3 ECC; RIT 4-4, 1-4 Liberty League

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- For the first time in four days, the Daemen women's tennis teams continued its spring season with a 6-3 loss against the RIT Tigers in a non-conference dual match Sunday afternoon at the Midtown Athletic Club. This was the Wildcats' first action after a non-conference matchup with Southern Virginia on March 31 was canceled due to weather.

Despite the team loss, Daemen graduate student Christina Stasiuk (Bowmansville, N.Y.) continued to make her mark on the program's record books after recording wins in singles and doubles play. With a win over Gabby Donahue in second singles, Stasiuk passed Hayle Scanlan '17 as Daemen's all-time leader in singles wins (48.) Stasiuk also passed Gretchen Ringler '18 for second in combined singles / doubles wins (85.)

Stasiuk is still unbeaten in singles play this spring and improved to 9-5 in singles play on the year. She now has a team-high 18 combined singles / doubles wins this season.

Daemen's match against the Tigers on Sunday was played under the Division III scoring format which awards points for each match.
