Lady Eagles Tennis Opens Season
Alice Lloyd College Press Release
The Alice Lloyd College Women’s Tennis team kicked off its season last Saturday with meets against Carlow University (PA) and Berea College. The matches were played at the Knott County tennis facility. ALC dropped the opening match against Carlow 6-3, but the girls were very competitive. Freshmen Serena Nickell and Crilda Brown got things off to a good start with a win playing No. 3 doubles. Unfortunately, Brown turned an ankle during the match. Though able to finish, she was unable to continue for the rest of the day, leaving the team a player short. Her doubles partner, Nickell, also won her singles match in a third set tie break, playing at No. 5. Senior Lydia Harris, playing at No. 1 singles, won in a third set tie break to account for the other win. Being a player short put the team at a significant disadvantage against a much improved Berea College team, losing 8-1. The one win was provided by Serena Nickell playing at No. 5 singles. Senior Rebekah Bevins, playing at No.2 singles, narrowly missed adding a second victory, coming up short in a very close third set tie break. The Lady Eagles’ tennis season continues this weekend as the team travels to Brescia University to play the host team, as well as IU East.

Lady Eagles Fight Tough in KIAC Tournament
Alice Lloyd College Press Release
The Alice Lloyd College Women’s Tennis team traveled to Richmond, IN last week to participate in the KIAC Tennis Tournament on Friday. Due to inclement weather, play was moved to an indoor facility in Dayton, OH, where the Eagles met Carlow University out of Pittsburg, PA. Unfortunately, the team fell behind 0-3, dropping the three doubles matches despite holding late leads in two of them. This proved to be too deep of a hole to dig out of as the team went on to drop three of the six singles matches. The girls went down fighting, though, as senior Lydia Harris, playing at No. 1 singles, won her match 6-0, 6-2. Freshman Crilda Brown, playing at No. 5 singles also won, dispatching her opponent 6-2, 6-0, and freshman Kylie Clay was leading 6-4, 2-2 when play was suspended. Also competing for the Eagles were sophomore Amanda Ashworth and freshmen Courtney Puckett, Serena Nickell, and Noel Banks.
