Binghamton women’s tennis fell to Richmond 5-0 on the road last Saturday before losing a 4-3 heartbreaker to Fairleigh Dickinson in its first game at the Events Center this season on Wednesday. BU (3-12) has now lost eight consecutive games.

Binghamton took three of the first four singles matches against FDU, with sophomore Katherine Medianik the only Bearcat to lose. She fell in three sets (3-6, 7-5, 2-6). BU freshmen Alexis Tashiro, Sara Kohtz and Shea Brodsky defeated Fairleigh Dickinson senior Egzona Morina, and freshmen Nicole Chis and Celine Maier, in their respective matches.

But FDU responded with wins from the fifth and sixth spot for the decisive fourth team point.

In doubles, the Bearcats’ No. 3 tandem of Kohtz and sophomore Missy Edelblum defeated the Knights duo of sophomore Dina Guzairova and junior Manuela Leme, 8-6. But FDU secured the doubles point with a pair of 9-7 victories from the No. 1 and 2 duos.

On March 27, Richmond (5-10) swept the Bearcats 5-0 at Westhampton. Binghamton’s No. 3 doubles squad of Brodsky and Tashiro played the Spiders’ team of junior Elizabeth Sims and senior Alexandra Smyth to a 6-6 tie but didn’t finish the match. Tashiro and Kohtz were also unable to finish their singles matches.

Binghamton will look to break its eight-game skid against America East rival Albany at 2 p.m. today at Varsity Court.
