STEUBENVILLE – It was a triumphant final game for the Franciscan University's Lady Baron Tennis team Tuesday afternoon with a 7-2 home court victory over Mount Aloysius College. The Lady Barons wrap up their inaugural season with an overall record of 4-9, and a successful 4-4 standing in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

Starting with doubles, back-to-back AMCC Players of the Week Taylor McColgan and Mariette van der Wegen took on Mount Aloysius's Julia Light and Kimmy Rentuma, defeating the pair 8-6.

Also taking the win in doubles was freshman pair Amanda Boik and Marija Beck. It was a victory-by-forfeit for the Lady Barons due to Mount Aloysius Lady Mounties Molly Hobba and Samantha Oliver not competing in the match.

The Lady Barons also took the majority of the wins in singles, with Marija Beck, Lyndsay Nadeau, and Amanda Boik all winning their first two sets to take match wins. Beck won 6-1, 6-1; Nadeau earned an early 6-1, 2-1 victory; and Boik won 6-2, 6-4.

Mount Aloysius was forced to forfeit two singles matches due to not enough players.

Unfortunately for the Lady Barons, Franciscan University is still in its provisional stages of NCAA Division III status and therefore the team is ineligible for post season play at the AMCC Championship.

Congratulations to the Lady Baron Tennis team for ending their first season on a high note – hopefully a sign of successful season to come!
