For the women, senior Erin Walker, juniors Whitney Williams and Lucile Pothier, sophomore Jordan Henry, and freshmen Sarah Adams and Autumn Crossnoe played singles.

Walker played a tough match in the number one spot against Lingfeng Gu and fell in the first set 6-3, but came back and won in the next two sets 6-3, 10-6 giving her a singles winning streak of three matches.

Pothier pushed her winning streak to eight matches while Adams kept the team lead of singles wins with 14 after her fifth consecutive victory.

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."
