AMHERST, Mass. -- The Colby College Women's Tennis team finished up its fall season with a 10th-place finish at the New England Women's Invitational Tennis Tournament at Amherst College this past weekend. The White Mules earned a total of 7.5 team points, placing them just ahead of Bates College, which scored seven points. A total of 21 teams competed in the three-day tournament.
Colby had three players advance as far as the quarterfinals, but none could breach the semis, as number-one Kim Cheah (Penang, Malaysia), number-five Mayo Morgan (Worcester, Mass.), and number-six Kendra Shank (Edina, Minn.) each fell in the third round. The three combined to give Colby six of its seven-and-a-half points. The rest came from number-two player Lisa Mark (Beverly Hills, Mich.), who won her first round match but lost in the second round, and the doubles team of Cheah and Shank, which, after losing its first match, won a consolation battle to earn a half point.
