April 29, 2003

The Ole women's tennis team earned a fifth-place MIAC finish with its participation in the conference tournament on April 25 and 26 at Gustavus Adolphus College.

In their first match, on Friday, the Oles again fell to St. Catherine. Despite good efforts by the players, the Oles were winless.

The Oles swept their Saturday morning match, defeating Saint Mary's 9-0. The Oles had previously beaten Saint Mary's 5-4, but this time, both teams' lineups were different. The doubles matches were close, with the Oles' number three team fighting back from 4-7 to come up with the win.

The Oles secured their fifth-place conference finish by beating Concordia College 8-1. The sole St. Olaf loss was at number one doubles. The match's completion marked the end of the season. The St. Olaf tennis alumni match will be held Saturday, May 10 at 1 PM in Skoglund fieldhouse.

Throughout the tournament, the lineup for the Oles remained the same. The singles lineup was Janelle Sagness (Sr., Mankato, Minn.), Beth Erie (So., Rochester, Minn.), Jennifer Ison (Sr., Urbana, Ill.), Kristen Buchta (So., Neenah, Wisc.), Emily Eggert (FY, Appleton, Wisc.), and Jamie Brau (Jr., Arlington, Minn.). Doubles teams were Sagness and Yvonne Yang (Sr., Appleton, Wisc.), Erie and Buchta, and Ison and Eggert.
