Manhattanville 5, Farmingdale State 1
PURCHASE, N.Y. | The Farmingdale State College women's tennis team saw its four-match winning streak come to an end Monday afternoon, as the Rams fell in a Skyline Conference contest at Manhattanville University, 5-1.
The host Valiants (4-1, 3-0 Skyline) secured a team point in doubles action by capturing two out of three matches, with the Rams' (5-6, 2-1) lone victory coming in the top flight by seniors
Natalia Furchel (Manorville, N.Y.) and

FSC's singles victory came courtesy of reigning Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week
Emma Johannsen (Verplanck, N.Y.), who came back from one set down to knock off Maria Gutierrez in their fifth-flight match, 0-6, 6-2 and 7-6 (7-4).
Farmingdale State is back in conference action Tuesday night, when it wraps up its back-to-back road Skyline matches with a 5:30 p.m. first serve at Sarah Lawrence College.
