History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n ITHACA, N.Y. \u2013 The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) women’s tennis team delivered a thrilling comeback victory in the Liberty League Semifinals, rallying past St. Lawrence for a 4-3 win at the Reis Tennis Center to advance in the conference tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n RPI found itself trailing early after a tightly contested doubles session. The Engineers earned a point at No. 2 doubles behind a strong 6-2 victory from Kayla Wheeler<\/a> and Victoria Sarabosing<\/a>, but St. Lawrence claimed the other two matches to take a 1-0 lead into singles play.<\/p>\n The Saints extended their advantage at the top of the lineup, winning at No. 1 singles to go ahead 2-0, leaving RPI needing a near-perfect finish across the remaining matches. The Engineers responded with resilience, winning four of the final five singles contests, including three dramatic matches that went the distance.<\/p>\n RPI’s comeback began at No. 4 singles, where Sarabosing delivered a key straight-set win, battling through a tight second-set tiebreak to secure the point. The Engineers then turned to the middle and bottom of the lineup, where the match swung decisively in their favor.<\/p>\n At No. 3 singles, Gauri Muliyil<\/a> fought through a three-set battle, bouncing back after dropping the second set to claim a 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 victory. Soon after, Neha Saraswatula<\/a> added another crucial point at No. 6 singles, overcoming a first-set loss to win 4-6, 6-0, 6-2, tying the overall match.<\/p>\n The deciding point came at No. 2 singles in one of the most dramatic matches of the day. Wheeler battled through a back-and-forth contest, forcing a third set after splitting the opening two before prevailing in a tense super tiebreak, 8-6, to clinch the victory for the Engineers.\u00a0<\/p>\n The win advances RPI to Sunday’s championship match, which will feature the Engineerd and Vassar at 1:00 pm.
