BRISTOL, R.I. – Senior Ella Mancini (Middlebury, Conn.) tied the Roger Williams University career singles victories record, but the second-seeded Hawks fell to No. 3 Gordon, 4-3, in the Conference of New England Tournament semifinals Thursday at the RWU Tennis Courts.

Roger Williams concludes its fall season with a 13-3 record, while Gordon improved to 10-4 and advanced to the CNE championship.

Mancini collected her 61st career singles victory with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Amanda Kim at No. 4. The victory tied Lauren Schmidt's program record, set from 2012-16.

Adriana Palmieri (Southington, Conn.) added a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Makayla Otey at No. 5. Megan Bache (Westbrook, Conn.) rallied past Serena Ross at No. 3, earning a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory.

Bache and Palmieri also earned a 6-2 win at No. 2 doubles. Gordon, however, captured the opening team point with victories at Nos. 1 and 3.

Mancini and Palmieri won the first two completed singles matches to give Roger Williams a 2-1 advantage. Gianna Hallam answered for Gordon with a victory over Scarlett Bernard (Westwood, Mass.) at No. 6 before Lucille Belval defeated Valentina Abarca (Riobamba, Ecuador) at No. 1, putting the Fighting Scots ahead, 3-2.

Bache's three-set victory evened the match at 3-3. The semifinal came down to No. 2 singles, where Chloe Hanley defeated Iris Gkrekou (Athens, Greece), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, to clinch the match for Gordon.

The Hawks will be back in action in the Spring during Spring Break week.
