Franklin women's tennis got off to a strong start against Anderson on Saturday, sweeping all three doubles matches — but singles play belonged to the visiting Ravens, who skipped town with a 5-2 win.

The doubles point went the way of the Grizzlies (7-7). Ailyn Hendricks and Emma Tranter rolled to a 6-2 win in the No. 1 spot, Emma Sappenfield and Eleanor Stillabower were a 6-4 winner at No. 2 and Brenna Atchison teamed with Reagan Cox for a 6-4 victory at No. 3.

Anderson won the first three singles points, while Atchison kept the Griz hopes alive with a 6-0, 6-1 rout at sixth singles. The visitors came away with the win after edging Stillabower (No. 4) and Sappenfield (No. 5) in three-set battles.

The Grizzlies travel to Rose-Hulman on Sunday for a noon showdown.
