GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Emory & Henry College Women's Tennis Team (1-0) defeated Greensboro College (0-1) to open their 2012-13 campaign Friday afternoon at War Memorial Stadium Tennis Courts.

Junior Alyssa Wingate (Independence, Va.) picked up a 6-0, 6-0 victory at number one singles while freshman Taylor Evans (Gate City, Va.) won by the same score at the second singles flight.

In doubles play, the team of junior Emily Bolt (Independence, Va.) and freshman Meredith Yeary (Knoxville, Tenn.) picked up an 8-1 win at the number one pairing.

"Emily (Bolt) and Meredith (Yeary) communicated well (in their first doubles match as a team)," commented Head Coach Josh Parmenter after the match. "They're developing strong chemistry. That'll be important given the talented teams on our schedule."
