WORCESTER, Mass. – It was a strong showing for the Bentley women's tennis team at it's season opening competition this weekend, at the Holy Cross Invitational.

The Falcons competed against Division I Holy Cross, NE10 rivals Franklin Pierce, Assumption and Saint Anselm, and Nichols College.

An all doubles competition, the Falcons went 10-5 overall and every player that participated claimed a victory.

Sophomore Rachel Holden (Pomfret, Conn./Woodstock) led the way for the Falcons with a 3-0 record.

In addition to Holden, Bentley's No. 1 No. 2 and No. 4 teams picked up two wins on the day each.

With the start of the NE10 season on the horizon, the competition got the Falcons back into the swing of things. That conference schedule gets underway one week from Sunday, when the team hosts Adelphi.
