MADISON, Wis. - Grinnell College's women's tennis team saw its stellar season draw to a close Friday, falling to Lake Forest in the title match after opening the day with a 5-0 semifinal win over Cornell College.

In the Cornell win, the Pioneers swept through doubles play with little trouble. Abby Nielsen '21 and Judith Fan '19 posted an 8-1 decision at the top spot, Isabel Green '22 teamed with Brenda Guan '20 to win 8-2 at No. 2 and the duo of Sara Amano '22-Lily Hamilton '19 won 8-1 at No. 3. The Pioneers finished off the victory as Nielsen won 6-3, 6-0 at No. 1 singles and Fan earned a 6-0, 6-1 decision at No. 2.

Though losing the title match 5-0 against the Central Region's 17th-ranked team, the score was somewhat deceiving as Fan, Hamilton and Guan all won their first sets in singles and Nielsen was on her way to winning her second set before play was halted when Lake Forest clinched the victory.

Hamilton and Fan closed out superb careers as Hamilton's 70 singles wins rank fourth in program history and 56 doubles victories are ninth. Fan ranks 12th and 13th in singles and doubles wins with 48 and 64, respectively. Nielsen's 49 singles wins are 11th-best for the program and Guan's 30 rank 25th.
