ALBANY, NY – The College of Saint Rose women's tennis team suffered a 6-3 setback against visiting Stonehill College this afternoon in its Northeast-10 Conference opener.

Additionally, sophomore Melissa Leighton and sophomore Stephanie Paine pulled out a hard fought 8-5 win to help the Golden Knights claim two of three doubles matches.

Saint Rose is scheduled to host Bentley in a Northeast-10 Conference match next Friday at Keltin Courts. The match is set to begin at 3:00 pm. The Skyhawks will travel to Franklin Pierce on Tuesday for a 3:00 pm conference match in Rindge, NH.
