SPRING WRAP-UP

Rochester teams bloomed last spring, with four teams advancing to postseason play and two others winning conference championships.

Joanna Toke '03 finished as the NCAA Division III national singles runner-up in women's tennis. On her way through the 32-player tournament field, Toke defeated the defending national champion in a three-set semifinal match.

She finished her season at 22-4 in singles play. The championship match loss snapped a 13-match winning streak in the spring.

Toke is the second Rochester woman to finish as national runner-up in the last three years.

As a team, the Yellowjackets finished second in the New York State championships, third in the UCAA championships, and third in the UAA championships.

Men's Tennis: Rochester returned to the national championships for the first time since 1997. The Yellowjackets lost to MIT in the first round but finished 12-9. The 12 wins included a victory over 23rd-ranked Kenyon College, a runner-up finish in the UCAA championships, and a third-place finish in the UAA championships.
