On the women’s side, Middlebury edged Mount Holyoke by a score of 5-4.  The Lyons won four of the five top spots, but the bottom of the ladder did not win a game.  In the Western Mass showdown between Mount Holyoke and Williams, the Ephs prevailed 9-0.  Although the score was lopsided, there were many competitive matches.  At the number one position, Williams’ Toby Eyre, last year’s fourth-ranked player in the country, defeated Pam Anckermann in  a close four-game match.

The 15th-ranked Middlebury Panthers may leap the 11th-ranked Mount Holyoke Lyons in the next rankings publication.   The Lyons and Panthers play similar schedules; however, Middlebury had better match scores against shared opponents. Against Hamilton, Middlebury won 8-1, while Mount Holyoke narrowly won 5-4.  Against William Smith, Mount Holyoke won 8-1, but Middlebury shutout the Herons.

Mount Holyoke faces 17th-ranked Amherst on Thursday.

On the men’s side, the Ephs defeated Bates and Middlebury.  Williams improves to 4-4 on the season.

On the women’s side, Amherst defeated Tufts 9-0 before losing to Trinity 0-9 in the quarter-finals. Amherst lost to Middlebury 3-6 and Hamilton 4-5 to finish in eighth place. Williams lost to Trinity in the finals to finish the tournament in second place.

Mount Holyoke went undefeated in the tournament after a close 5-4 victory over Hamilton. Laurian Lue Yen (#3) came from behind to beat Madeleine Sullivanin in five games (10-8, 4-9, 6-9, 9-5, 9-5). Victories over twelfth-ranked Colby and fifteenth-ranked Hamilton should propel the Lyons higher in the rankings. Mount Holyoke’s Pamela Anckermann (#1) and Menusha Hettiarachchi (#2) remain undefeated in match play this year.

Smith had a challenging weekend going 0-5, but had strong play from its top players. Talia William (#3) played well in her matches this weekend and beat Joan Huang of Wellesley in three games.

Despite breaking a facial bone at last weekend’s Seven Sisters Tournament, Wellesley’s Sarah O’Dell (#1) helped lead her team to a 3-1 record on the weekend. The team’s victories against Conneticut, George Washington, and Smith should only help its quest to return to varsity status for the next academic year.

Wesleyan’s sole victory of the weekend came against George Washington. Casey Simchik (#1) and Liz Demakos (#3) each won five-game matches against the Colonials.

Amherst went 2-2 on the weekend, including an upset of twelfth-ranked Colby. After being down 0-2, the Jeffs’ Libby Martin (#3) won the third game against Jessica Vogel. She went on to win the match. In the team’s loss to Middlebury, the Jeffs’ Emily O’Brien (#2) and Martin each recorded five-game victories.
