NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — The Williams College women's tennis team won 12 singles matches and five doubles matches during the three-day New England Women's Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament (NEWITT) Friday-Sunday on the campus of Smith and Amherst College.
"The NEWITTÂ was a sweet way to cap three back-to-back weeks of competition," said 10th-year head coach
Anik Cepeda. "We learned a lot, had a bunch of epic battles and truly emptied the tank. We are looking forward to applying the lessons learned in these last few weeks of the fall season."
In third-day action Sunday, sophomore
Katelyn Wu defeated junior Sophie Buttorff of Wellesley, 6-4, 6-3, in singles action during the final round of the B Draw. After winning her first collegiate singles match Saturday, first-year
Katherine Kendall defeated sophomore Carley Chen of MIT in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, on Sunday.
During the three-day tournament, Wu went 4-0 during singles and 3-1 in doubles, while senior captain
Margaux Molyneux finished 2-1 in doubles and 2-2 during singles. Kendall and sophomore
Ayanna Varma finished with identical records of 2-2 in doubles and singles action over the weekend.
Senior captains

"I would like to give a big shoutout to
Katelyn Wu," said Cepeda. "She went undefeated in singles all weekend playing Line 1 for our B Draw Team."
