The Seven Sisters is a consortium of women’s liberal arts colleges that was founded in 1915. Originally, the Seven Sisters included Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Barnard, and Radcliffe. The consortium served as the female equivalent of the once all-male Ivy League. According to Mount Holyoke’s Athletic Director Laurie Priest, “This Seven Sisters event brings with it a rich tradition of top competitive opportunities for women that supports the development of longstanding, friendly rivalries.”

In the opening match, Smith faced Mount Holyoke.  The Lyons advanced to the finals with a 9-0 victory.  After arriving in South Hadley late due to bus troubles, Vassar easily defeated a shorthanded Wellesley squad.

In the match for third place, Smith earned its second victory of the season by defeating Wellesley 7-2. Smith’s Jess MacLeod defeated Ashley Stevens in five games.

The championship match was the final home match for Mount Holyoke’s seniors.  During introductions, Mount Holyoke honored seniors Pamela Anckermann, Lisa Bruno, and Menusha Hettiarachchi with roses.  As coach Allen Fitzsimmons pointed out during the introductions, four seasons ago Mount Holyoke was ranked 27th.  Currently the Lyons, led by this group of seniors, is ranked 11th in the nation.

Mount Holyoke defeated Vassar to capture its third consecutive Seven Sisters title.  All nine Lyons earned All-Tournament Team honors.
