Lake Forest's #2 doubles team of freshman Nonie Carson (Littleton, Colo./Littleton) and junior Molly Stapleton (St. Louis Park, Minn./Saint Louis Park) recorded the Foresters' only victory during Saturday's doubles tournaments. They blanked the duo from Knox College 6-0, 6-0 before falling to eventual runner-up Lawrence in the quarterfinals. The Foresters' top finishes during Sunday's singles tourneys were turned in by freshman Sara Bennett (Sioux City, Iowa/Sioux City North) at #5 and sophomore Deepika Ramachandran (Mumbai, India/Mahindra United World College) at #6. Bennett won 6-1, 6-1 in the first round over a player from Illinois College and knocked off a foe from Knox 7-6 (7-4), 6-0 in the quarterfinals. She was then eliminated by the eventual champion at the position from Grinnell 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals. Ramachandran had a first-round bye and defeated Monmouth College's #6 player 6-1, 6-1 in the quarterfinals. She was then knocked off 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 by the runner-up from Grinnell in the semifinals. Freshman Allison Hamel (Bend, Ore./Bend) defeated Ripon College's #2 singles player 6-1, 6-3 in the first round before falling 6-2, 6-4 to the eventual runner-up from Beloit College in the quarterfinals. Stapleton fell 6-0, 6-1 to the eventual #3 singles champion from Grinnell in the quarterfinals before prevailing 10-5 over Ripon and winning 10-1 in the consolation final over Knox.
