The William Jewell College women's tennis team fell 5-0  to Lewis University in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament Quarterfinals on Friday in Indianapolis, Ind.  The Cardinals finish their spring season with a 14-7 record good for fourth place in the GLVC Western Division. 

Jewell came out of doubles play down 3-0 as Kristen Stivers and Lehenbauer dropped an 8-0 decision at No.1 doubles.  Loree and Conner Hazelrigg and Jaimie Baker and Savannah Drew each lost by scores of 9-7 at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles respectively. 

Needing only two more victories to advance the Flyers earned wins over Stivers at No.1 singles and over Hana Lindbloom at No. 2 singles.

The Cardinals did not leave the tournament empty handed however, as Stivers and Carli Bisesi were named to the GLVC All-Conference First team.  This marks the second and third players to be named All-Conference since Jewell entered the GLVC last season.   

“We had a great season and I am very proud of our team,” said head coach Paul Worstell.  “It is sad to know that we lose three seniors but we have an outstanding recruiting class coming in and I fully believe we will be able to continue to build on the success we had this season.”
