CMS women’s tennis make history

On a sunny May 25 afternoon in Orlando, Florida, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women’s tennis team captured the 2022 NCAA Division III National Championship at the USTA National Campus after besting the tournament’s number one seed, the University of Chicago, 5-1.

The Athenas led 2-1 after doubles play and won the first set on all six singles courts to eventually capture the win and title over Chicago, marking the second time the program has won the national championship.

According to Mudd-Scripps, freshman Ella Brissett picked up the clincher during single play on court four with a 6-4, 6-3 win; although Brissett and sophomore Audrey Yoon both had match points on adjacent courts at the same time.

Senior Sarah Bahsoun earned a 6-1, 6-3 win on court six for the third CMS point, and sophomore Nikolina Batoshvili followed that up with a 6-4, 6-3 win on court five to put CMS ahead 4-1.

Following the team tournament, seniors Juan and Sydney Lee competed in the NCAA singles championship later that weekend.
