Nowak pulled out a hard fought pro-set match 9-7.
A Webber team made it to the Back Draws finals in doubles.
Nathalia Chaddad and
Leticia Tomb, both from Brazil, fought to the final. Unfortunately, they faced the #1 team from St. Thomas University and fell 8-2.
“Our girls had a tough start at the ITA, but we did keep fighting and won our share of matches in the back-draw,” stated Coach
Bill Heath. “We have a lot of improvement to do, but that is what the fall is for,” added Heath.
