The women’s tennis team traveled to Williamstown, Mass., this past weekend to face Little Three rival Williams College. The Cardinals suffered a tough defeat to the defending Division III NCAA champions, falling 1-8 to the Ephs on Saturday. Lauren Jacobs ’15 and Grace Smith ’14 teamed up at the #2 doubles spot to snag the only win for Wesleyan with an 8-6 victory.

Wesleyan bounced back from the weekend’s loss to beat Mount Holyoke in a mid-week away match on Wednesday. It was a total team effort, as the Cardinals trounced the Lyons 7-2. Smith at the #1 spot, Kiley Robbins  ’14 at #3, Jacobs at #4, Kaitlyn Clark ’14 at #5, and Hannah Berkman ’12 at #6 all posted wins for Wesleyan in their singles matchups. Sarah Miller ’12 joined Robbins at the #1 doubles spot for an exciting 9-7 win. Jacobs and Smith also secured a win at the #2 doubles spot, remaining undefeated at #2 in the Fall season.

Next up for the Cardinals is a dual match this Sunday at Roger Williams.
