ELON, N.C. – Third-seeded James Madison women's tennis battled in its first appearance in the Colonial Athletic Association finals, but came up just short to top-seeded No. 37 William & Mary as the Dukes fell 4-1.
The Tribe claimed the doubles point after a 2-0 showing, then pushed out to a 2-0 lead before JMU got on the board. William & Mary then won back-to-back singles matches to claim the team win and the league title.
JMU (18-7) earned its lone point at the No. 4 singles position, with freshman Emma Petersen claiming the two-set win over Julia Casselbury. Petersen finishes her first collegiate dual season at a team-best 18-5, including wins in nine of her final 10 completed matches.
Four other Dukes finished the dual slate with at least 10 wins in singles play. Junior Rebecca Harris finished at 17-3, sophomore Kimmy Herrock closed at 16-4, junior Timea Guibe concluded at 14-6 and sophomore Dylan Owens rounded out the spring at 10-2.
As a doubles duo, Guibe and Herrock finished the spring at a perfect 10-0 in completed matches.
The Dukes wrap the 2015-16 season at 18-7, posting their highest win total since notching 20 in 1989-90.
