In the flight B, Hannah Morril and Kelly Whelan both lost in the second round of the tournament.
Harvard’s Samantha Gridley, the top seed of flight C, lost her semifinal match in three sets, 6-2, 6-7(2), 10-6, to Middlebury’s Lok-Sze Leung. And Gridley’s teammate in the same flight, Alex Lehman, also lost a tight three-set match in the semis, falling to University of Massachusetts player, Chanel Glasper, 6-2, 3-6, 10-5.
In the flight A doubles draw, the Crimson headlined again, with the team’s top pair of Norton and Tachibana taking the doubles title in comfortable fashion, winning 8-3 against Yuliana Motyl and Chantal Swiszcz of UMass.
In the Flight B doubles bracket, Harvard teams of Jania and Lehman, as well as Gridley and Li, both lost 8-3 in the semifinal round.
Overall, Crimson coach Traci Green was satisfied with her team’s performance this weekend.
“I saw a lot of poise out there,” Green said. “We have some improvements all around … but over all we had a good showing against some tough opponents … We are ready to move on from here.”
The duo of Tachibana and Norton was invited to compete in an All-American doubles tournament in California in early October, and the two are hoping to take their momentum from this weekend to the West Coast.
“[It was] a good warm-up tournament, so we really wanted to win the whole thing,” Norton said. “We had a couple tough matches, but we were able to pull it out.”
Besides the All-American tournament for Norton and Tachibana during the first week of October, the rest of the team will be in action again on Oct. 8, at the Billie Jean King Invitational in Flushing Meadows, N.Y.
