Emory captured its third straight ITA Division III Indoor National Women’s Tennis Championship on Sunday.
Second-seeded Emory defeated top-seeded Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, 5-3, in Nashville.
Emory advanced to the title match with 9-0 wins over both No. 14 Sewanee and No. 4 Pomona-Pitzer.
In a close championship match, freshman Emma Cartledge swept past freshman Sydney Lee 7-6, 6-4 to clinch Emory’s third-consecutive indoor title.
“It feels great to see such a young team, with only one senior and one junior player on the roster, to compete so well. This title gives us coaches reassurance that we are going the right direction,” Emory’s women’s assistant tennis coach Barbora Kritckova said.
Emory moved back to No. 1 in the national rankings with the win.
