Women's Tennis secures crucial win at Taylor

UPLAND, Ind. - Grace's women's tennis team locked up a high seed in the Crossroads League courtesy of a 5-4 win at Taylor on Saturday.

The Lady Lancers (9-2, 6-2 CL) can finish no worse than tied for third place in the league standings with one match remaining. Grace can jump up to No. 2 in the CL by upsetting Marian on Tuesday in Indianapolis.

Grace's best league finish in program history was in 2008 when the team placed third. The Lady Lancers are also well in reach of the program record for single-season wins of 11. Grace has five regular season matches to play, along with the upcoming CL Tournament.

Saturday's match started with singles' play. Emily Mast made quick work of her opponent at No. 1 singles with a 6-2, 6-2 scoreline, and Molly Fitzpatrick won 6-3, 6-1 at No. 5 singles.

Jayna Armstrong battled to a 6-4, 7-5 win at No. 4 singles, and Jenna Jackson pulled out a three-set win at No. 3 singles (4-6, 6-4, 6-2).
