A quartet of student-athletes from The College of Wooster women's tennis team turned in a strong showing over the weekend at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regional Tournament at Kalamazoo, Mich. For the weekend, Wooster won five matches, while five of the Fighting Scots' eight losses were against seeded players in the field.

Sophomore Veronica Clark and freshman Joy Li opened play for Wooster on Friday with an impressive 8-3 win over a Kalamazoo College tandem. Then, the duo drew a tough second-round opponent in the fifth-seeded DePauw University team, but battled valiantly before bowing out 8-3.

Senior Rachel Molé and junior Morgan Wagers rolled to an 8-3 win in their opening-round match over a team from Allegheny College, but they too drew a seeded team in the second round, and ultimately dropped a very close 8-5 match to the eighth-seeded team from Kalamazoo.

Two of Wooster's competitors also won their opening-round singles matches on Friday.

Clark dropped one game in her singles opener en route to a 6-0, 6-1 win, but then fell 6-0, 6-3 to Washington University-St. Louis's Rebecca Ho, the top-seeded singles player in the tournament.

Li also won her first singles match, taking down John Carroll University's Madisyn Rini 6-2, 6-2, before bowing out to the 17th-seeded singles player in the tournament 6-1, 6-1.

The ITA Regional Tournament concluded Wooster's fall slate.
