Huskies Second at Little East Championship
O'Brien Wins Titles in Singles and Doubles
PLYMOUTH, N.H. -- Freshman Erin O'Brien (Gorham, Maine) of the University of
Southern Maine women's tennis team won her singles flight championship, and combined with
classmate Sara Goodine (South Portland, Maine) to win their doubles flight crown, to lead the
Huskies to a second place finish in the Fourth Annual Little East Conference Women's Tennis
Championships hosted at Plymouth State College.
Sophomore Suzanne deGolian (West Buxton, Maine/Gorham HS) successfully defended her
number one singles title. It is the third straight year that a USM player has won the number one
singles title.
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, in fourth place after the Saturday's action, came
on strong Sunday to win four singles titles and the other two doubles flights and captured its second
straight team championship.
O'Brien, the top seed in the third singles flight, defeated Melissa Sawicki of UMass Boston (6-
0, 6-2) in the semifinals and Kasha Gula of UMass Dartmouth (6-4, 6-1) to take the crown. O'Brien
and Goodine, seeded second at second doubles, received a first round bye, then knocked off Gula
and Shannon Kelleher of UMass Dartmouth (1-6, 6-3, 7-6) in the semifinals and the top-seeded duo
of Kristine Roberge and Jen Lemire of Plymouth State (6-3, 6-1) in the finals.
deGolian was the top seed in the first singles flight and received a first round bye. She
defeated Lillian Valentine of Western Connecticut (6-4, 6-3) in the semis and Mary Bourque of
UMass Dartmouth (6-4, 6-1) to defend her title.
Sophomore Ariel Smith (Rochester, N.H.) was the only other USM player to reach a final in
singles play. She upset second seeded Liza Tallanta of Plymouth State (4-6, 6-3, 7-6) before losing
to top seeded Olivia Cunha of UMass Dartmouth in the final (6-3, 7-6) in the sixth singles flight.
Smith and doubles partner Emily McArdle (Gorham, Maine) reached the finals in the third
doubles flight before losing to Cunha and Ashley Kennedy of UMass Dartmouth (6-4, 6-2).
