Farrell finishes with sixth-straight win for Seahawks
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (October 13, 2019) - Salve Regina University freshman Casey Farrell (Cumberland, R.I.) walked onto the courts at Rhode Island College to face her No. 2 singles opponent from Johnson & Wales University after 17 matches combined between the men's and women's tennis programs from both schools. The Seahawk first-year player earned an 8-3 win for the only team point in an 8-1 setback to the Wildcats; Farrell now has a 6-1 overall record in singles (her only defeat came in retirement after winning her first set in her first match, ironically at home against Rhode Island College).
