Central College women’s tennis players Madi Whalen and Ashlynn Brant advanced to the semifinals of their brackets at the American Rivers Conference individual championships.

The Dutch had 15 players in action Friday across three flights of singles and two flights of doubles. Alex Griggs was an 8-4 winner in her first A-Flight singles match against Alyssa Stevenson from the University of Dubuque. Brianna Lindstrom won 8-3 in her first A-Flight singles match against Greta Wostoupal of Nebraska Wesleyan University. Both Dutch players lost their second-round match. Whalen took down all three opponents she faced Friday, including a seeded player from Loras College. Brant won a pair of matches and advanced in the second round after her schedule opponent withdrew from competition.

Semifinals matches start at 11 a.m. Saturday. The Dutch will also play as many consolation matches as the schedule allows for.
