They lost a tough final to Chicago Christian, but played hard to the end. This was Michelle's first year on the team and she proved to be a hard worker and a great asset!
The 3rd Doubles team of Sophomore Kelli Adair and Junior Kristen Nemejc blew through the competition winning their Championship match 6-3, 6-4 vs. Illiana Christian. They were undefeated in the conference during the season, earning the #1 seed at the tournament and taking it all the way.
1st Doubles Junior Lindsay Feltz and Sophomore Kendra Kosirog and Lizzy Westrope, who filled in at 2nd Singles for the day, all worked hard and played well too!
