Megan Fitzgerald of Thomaston named Elmira College Athlete of the Week

2016 Sep 6

Megan Fitzgerald of Thomaston has been named an Elmira College Athlete of the Week for the week ending September 4th.

Fitzgerald helped the women's tennis team complete a 9-0 sweep over the Pennsylvania College of Technology in the season opener at the Murray Athletic Center on September 3rd. At second singles, the Thomaston, Connecticut, native was flawless, as she picked up a decisive 6-0, 6-0 straight-sets win over Morgan Blackwell. At first doubles, Fitzgerald teamed up with Tilila El Yazidi '20 to knock off Blackwell and teammate Melissa Stabley by a score of 8-2. For the reigning Empire 8 All-Conference Honorable Mention singles and doubles player, the victories were the 35th and 36th of her career. Fitzgerald is now one singles win shy of moving into a four-way tie for seventh-place all-time, while her triumph at doubles with El Yazidi bumped her into a two-way tie with Bri Palmiero '12 for ninth with 18 wins.
