INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Grace's women's tennis team was eliminated from the Crossroads League Tournament by virtue of a 9-0 win by Marian on Tuesday.

The Lady Lancers (2-8) fell in the quarterfinal round against the red-hot second-seeded Knights (10-1).

The Knights grabbed an early advantage by winning all three doubles matches by the score of 8-1 over Kristin Cassidy and Taryn Wuensch at No. 1 doubles, Nicole Beguin and Janelle Hess at No. 2 doubles and Esther Smith and Sarah Hinkel at No. 3 doubles.

Cassidy was the most competitive in singles play with a 6-2, 6-2 loss at No. 1 singles. Beguin at No. 3 singles won three games in defeat, and Hess (No. 4), Hinkel (No. 5) and Smith (No. 6) each won two games against Marian.

Grace's loss concludes the first season for interim coach Joe Beeson. The Lady Lancers fielded a roster with lone senior Nicole Beguin leading the way. Grace managed to win back-to-back league matches late in the season to clinch a spot in the CL Tournament.
