WATERVILLE, Maine — Colby College’s Gabriela Venditti and Lydia Venditti joined forces for an 8-0 win at first doubles and both won singles matches in an 8-1 non-conference women’s tennis victory over Colby-Sawyer College on Sunday.

Colby improves to 3-0 after defeating last year’s North Eastern Athletic Conference champion. The Chargers dropped to 11-2 and were scheduled to play at Thomas College later in the day.

 

Gabriela Venditti won 6-1, 6-1 over Ashlyn Ramsay at first singles and Lydia Venditti cruised to a 6-2, 6-0 win against Ashley Woodside at the second spot.
