Saratoga Springs, NY – The Skidmore College women's tennis team celebrated a triumphant weekend hosting the 2025 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast Regional Championships. Freshman Ginevra Muratori emerged as the star, claiming the Singles title and partnering with fellow freshman Amelie Gonzalez for a second-place finish in doubles.

Muratori's Stellar Singles Performance

Muratori's path to victory began with a dominant semifinal win against RPI's Kaaviya Kannan, securing a 6-1, 6-0 victory. In the championship match, she faced NYU's Victoria Wang, showcasing her skill with a comfortable 6-4, 6-2 win.
