Vamvakitis Shines in Women's Tennis Setback to No. 32 Queens (N.Y.)

GOFFSTOWN, N.H. – Junior Diana Vamvakitis (Wading River, N.Y.) was a double winner on the evening, but No. 32 Queens (N.Y.)

In doubles play, Vamvakitis and Sarah Schöllgen (Meerbusch, Germany) teamed up to defeat Aylin Mehter and Yevgeniya Plevako, the No. 13-ranked doubles tandem in Division II, 8-5.  The duo is also the top-ranked doubles team in the region.  Vamvakitis, the No. 12 singles player in the East, also downed Mehter, the No. 6-ranked singles player in the region, at No. 1 singles by a 7-5, 6-4 score.
