The Central College women’s tennis team put up a good effort but came up short against Coe College 5-2 in the American Rivers Conference tournament semifinals Thursday.

The No. 6 seed Central (7-13) lost all three doubles matches against No. 2 Coe College. Madi Whalen rattled off a 6-0, 6-4 win at No. 2 singles and Jenna Mitsuko Mahoney followed with a 6-1, 6-4 win at No. 4 singles. After getting the sweep in doubles, Coe only needed to win two singles matches. Central had a lead in the No. 6 singles match and were close in the No. 5 match, but both would go unfinished.

The Dutch head into the offseason with a heap of optimism for next year as they lose none of their lineup too gradation.
