PELLA – Cornell sophomore Mac Graves became the school-record holder for singles victories in a season and Trent Schneider collected his 100th career coaching win in Saturday's 4-3 women's tennis triumph over Central at Kuyper Athletics Complex.
 
Graves established a new program bench mark with her 28th singles win, rolling 6-2, 6-1 at the No. 2 spot in the lineup. She improved her sparkling singles record to 28-3, overtaking Gabriella Ferro (27 wins in 2014-15) for No. 1 on Cornell's all-time list.
 
Graves also partnered with sister Tansy Graves for a 6-1 win at No. 1 doubles. Mac Graves now owns 50 total wins this season.
 
Schneider registered his 100th dual win in his fourth season leading both men's and women's programs. He joins Fred Burke (280 wins from 1979-2007) as Cornell's only tennis coaches to reach the milestone.
 
After giving up one team point in doubles, the Rams rallied to win four singles matches to take the dual.
 
Including Mac Graves' victory, Cornell won four of the top five positions in singles. No. 1 player Tansy Graves coasted 6-1, 6-0. Audrey Small earned a 6-2, 6-2 decision at No. 3, while Jenna Benkufsky prevailed 6-0, 7-5 at No. 5.
 
The Rams improved to 18-7 on the season in duals. The Rams are two wins shy of the season record.
