NAZARETH CRUISES TO E8 FINAL
NAZARETH 9, ELMIRA 0 | • NAZARETH 8, ST. JOHN FISHER 1

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Oct. 7, 2006) -- Nazareth breezed to a pair of Empire 8 Conference Tournament victories Saturday and will meet top-seeded Ithaca Sunday for the conference championship.

The Golden Flyers, seeded second, defeated seventh-seeded Elmira, 9-0, in their morning match and then disposed of third-seeded St. John Fisher, 8-1, in the afternoon semifinal. That sets up a Sunday matchup with Ithaca, which defeated Utica and RIT. The title match will be played at 12 noon at RIT.

In Saturday's matches, Stephanie Parvan (pictured), Rachel Leonard, Betsy O'Brien and Jackie Martinez each won two singles matches -- all in straight sets. In doubles, Parvan and leonard teamed up for two victories at first doubles and Martinez and Jessica Faber won twice at second doubles. The tandem of Ellen Austin and Kathryn Cross won against Elmira, 8-3, and the duo of O'Brien and Emily McAdoo won 8-6 against Fisher.
