Caroline Fox '12 Paces Cards' Efforts in Boston During Opening Weekend with a 3-0 Individual Mark

Caroline Fox '12 (photo) paced the team in Boston as she was the lone Cardinal to defeat her Bobcat rival and also posted wins vs. the Huskies and Blue for a 3-0 personal record. Six other players matched the team's record at 2-1. All three of the team's results during the weekend represented improvement over the 2008-09 season. Bates defeated Wesleyan 9-0 last year while Wellesley was a 7-2 victim in the early going last season. The Cardinals completely reversed the outcome vs. Northeastern as the Huskies produced a 7-2 win over the Cardinals last November.
Wesleyan will hope to keep the momentum going when the team resumes match play in the Wesleyan Round Robin Fri.-Sun., Dec. 4-6. Wesleyan will play six matches during the weekend, starting with St. Lawrence Friday. Also on the schedule for the round robin are William Smith, Middlebury, Smith, Mount Holyoke and Wellesley.
