Wildcats dismantle the War Hawks

April 18, 2013 by Brittney Johnson

Wednesday, the Wildcats played one last match to end their regular season. Both the men’s and women’s team challenged McMurry, our neighbors down the road, and did not break a sweat as they landed the Warhawks.

In singles, three matches were 6-0 straight and two had the score of 6-1, 6-0.

Micah Hermsdorf who defeated Lauren Renner, Brittney Reed who matched with Sydney Gonzalez, and Hannah Kelley were the matches with a score of 6-0.

Two duos served up an 8-4 match, Jamie Lee Denton and  K. Hermsdorf  and M. Hermsdorf and partner Kelley. Pair Mongin and Reed defeated McMurry’s  Gonzalez and Chelsea Miller 8-2.

The women’s team added a 9-0 win to their winning streak, now at 10 games straight, making them 22-5 overall this season with a 5-0 record in the Lone Star Conference as they head to the LSC Championship Tournament this weekend.

The men’s team end their regular season on a high note as they made a huge comeback after their disappointing trip in Florida last weekend.

My second year at ACU was full of opportunities that grew me as an individual and a journalist.

In my first year as editor in chief of @acuoptimist, we published six print issues, filmed a 3-hour live election show, and revamped our newscast, all while producing news weekly.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
