DUDLEY, Mass. - The Nichols College women's tennis team captured the Flight A, B, and C Championships Friday afternoon at the Grass Court Doubles Tournament at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I.

The Bison went an undefeated 9-0 in the tournament including winning all three flights, facing off against opponents from six different institutions; Salve Regina, Bridgewater State, Colby-Sawyer, Mount Holyoke, Holy Cross and Saint Joseph. Nichols picked up the flight A championship thanks to the duo pairing of seniors Amarie Settiwongse and Isabelle Leonardi who defeated the duo pairing from Holy Cross 8-6. "Wow....today was just such an awesome performance. I couldn't be prouder of this team. To win a match 9-0 is impressive, to go 9-0 against six other teams is remarkable. The team played great top to bottom." Said Nichols head coach Paul Brower
