LAST TIME OUT
Army shutout Fairleigh Dickinson and Hartford 7-0 last weekend before losing to Rutgers, 5-2 . Freshman Kirby Einck was the only Black Knight to go undefeated across multiple singles and doubles matches over the weekend. She also was the only Cadet to have a singles victory against Rutgers and was instrumental in capturing the doubles point with a grueling tiebreaker victory. Einck has now won three-straight singles matches and five-straight doubles matches. She is 5-3 in singles play, 8-1 on the season in doubles, and 5-0 when paired with senior Carolyn Pitman. Pitman remains undefeated in the spring in doubles with a 7-0 record.
Sophomore Bridget Guenard earned victories against the Knights and Hawks before narrowly losing in her match against the Scarlet Knights. She lost 7-6, 1-6, 8-10. She is currently 7-2 in singles play this year.
SCOUTING MARIST
Marist has lost four-consecutive matches after a 7-0 win in the opener against Saint Peter's. Last weekend, the Red Foxes narrowly lost 4-3 to Providence before being shut out by Harvard 4-0.
Freshman Chloe Lant has been the best singles player in the early going. The England native is undefeated in singles this spring with a 3-0 record in the number three position.
SCOUTING FORDHAM
The Rams have played just twice over the last four weeks, splitting their matches against Drexel (Loss, 5-2) and NJIT (Win, 5-2). Last season, Fordham was 11-7 and lost to eventual Atlantic 10 champion VCU in the semifinals.
Sophomore Estelle Wong has moved into the top singles position for the Rams after earning Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors last year. She has won each of her singles matches to open the year.
SCOUTING NJIT
NJIT has lost two in a row after rattling off three-straight victories. The Highlanders are led by Nathalie Habegger in the top singles flight. The junior from Switzerland owns a 2-4 record after winning a team-high eight singles matches last year.

Fordham is the only one of the three opponents that the Black Knights faced in a dual meet last season. The Black Knights fell to the Rams 4-3. The series history favors Army, 18-17.
The Cadets are undefeated all-time against Marist. They have won all 18 matches against their opponent from across the river.
