The Washington University men’s tennis team was successful this weekend as they posted two decisive victories at home with wins over the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire (0-7) and Wittenberg University, Ohio (8-4), to push their season record to 7-4.
As promised, Coach Roger Follmer switched things up a little for this weekend’s match-ups, changing doubles partnerships and singles positions.
For months now, the Washington University men’s tennis team has eagerly been awaiting its Apr. 1 match against Williams College.
Currently ranked No. 1 among Division III tennis teams, Williams College, the reigning two-time defending NCAA Champions, traveled west from Williamstown, Mass.
The Washington University women’s basketball season unexpectedly and uncharacteristically came to an end a week too early.
On Saturday evening, the Bears fell to No. 21 ranked Trinity (Texas) University (26-5), 76-57, in the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Tournament “Elite Eight” at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Tex.
It was a weekend of mixed emotions for the Bears. Head coach Nancy Fahey notched her 400th career victory as senior guard Laura Crowley continued her stellar performance, scoring a career-high 32 points in the Bears 62-36 win over CMU on Friday evening. The jubilation was short lived, however, as the Bears’ undefeated season, 54-game regular season winning streak, 32-game UAA winning streak and decade-long dominance of Rochester all came to a screeching halt Sunday afternoon with an 82-73 loss to the Yellowjackets.
On Tuesday, Student Life sat down with guard Kelly Manning to find out a bit more about the sophomore transfer student.

Last Sunday’s match up with New York University at the Field House, a 53-44 Bears victory, was still fresh in the Washington University players’ minds when they headed east to New York City on Thursday morning.
Thanks to some impressive shooting by Laura Crowley, the Bears were twice victorious over the weekend, with wins on the home courts of fellow University Athletic Association conference teams NYU (14-6, 4-5 UAA) and Brandeis University (11-8, 4-5 UAA).
The wins just keep piling up for the Washington University women’s basketball team.
Last weekend, the Bears hosted fellow University Athletic Association conference members including No. 10 University of Rochester (13-1, 3-1 UAA) and Carnegie Mellon University (10-6, 2-3 UAA), defeating both at the Field House.
