ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Two members of the Adrian College women's tennis team competed at the ITA Regionals over the weekend, hosted by Washington University in St. Louis. Claire Earley and Hye Jin Elliott represented the Bulldogs both as a doubles team and in the singles draw.

In doubles play, Earley and Elliott entered the tournament as the No. 9 seed and received a first-round bye into the Round of 32. They advanced with an 8-2 victory over a pair from Earlham College before facing the top-seeded team from WashU. The duo's run came to an end there with an 8-0 loss.

In singles competition, Elliott also received a first-round bye. She defeated her second-round opponent from the Illinois Institute of Technology in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. However, she was forced to withdraw from her next match against a WashU opponent due to a walkover.

Earley opened singles play with a hard-fought win over her opponent from Franciscan University of Steubenville. After winning the first set in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-5), she dropped the second set 6-4 but rallied to win the match with a 10-7 victory in the third-set super tiebreak. In the following round, she faced the tournament's No. 2 seed and fell 6-0, 6-0.

The Bulldogs return to action on Saturday, October 4, when they travel to Ohio Northern University to face the Polar Bears. Match time is to be determined.
