Scots Conclude Season with Win at NCAC Championships

The College of Wooster women's tennis team closed out its season with a 5-2 victory over Earlham College in the seventh-place match at the 25th annual North Coast Athletic Conference Championships hosted by Kenyon College on Sunday afternoon.

Wooster, 6-16 overall this spring, opened the championship with a loss to eventual champion and top-seeded Denison University 5-0 Saturday afternoon. The next match for the Fighting Scots happened on Sunday morning when Ohio Wesleyan University handed Wooster another loss by a 5-2 score with Wooster's points coming from Boo Flynn at No. 6 singles (6-0, 6-3), and the duo of Erin Bauer and Suzanne Hamby at No. 3 doubles (9-8), setting up a final seventh-place match between Wooster and Earlham College.

The Scots, who beat the Quakers 5-4 during the regular season, won two of three doubles matches to start, as the No. 1 tandem of Elissa Lauber and Kelsey Jenkins won 8-4, while Bauer and Hamby won by forfeit at third doubles.

Wooster won three of the four finished singles matches at the bottom of the lineup to seal the win. At No. 4, Bauer secured a tough three-set victory over Cory Matheiu. Bauer dropped the opening set 6-2, but rebounded with a convincing 6-2 mark in the second, and a 6-3 score in the decisive set. Grimanis and Hamby were the other singles winners at No. 5 (6-1, 6-2) and No. 6 (by forfeit), respectively.

Denison won the team title with a 5-0 win over Kenyon College in the finals.
