Roberts Rampages, Goes to Semifinals Of Local Tourney

Sally Roberts played the part of the Lone Ranger at the Greater Boston Tennis Championships on Saturday, and the only representative from the Radcliffe tennis team volleyed her way to a solid showing.

Playing in the number one singles bracket, she reached the semifinals before being ousted by Brenda Schaffer of Brandeis, 6-2, 6-1.

Before the Schaffer roadblock, Roberts had made short work of her first two opponents. In the first round she went' three sets against Heidi Ranz of U Mass, finishing strong to win, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Roberts' second match saw a "double bagel" job over Patty Finnegan of Holy Cross, 6-0, 6-0.

Impressive though it was, the sophomore's performance was not nearly enough to give Radcliffe the overall championship, which was won by Smith College.
