Bowdoin’s tennis teams saw their NCAA title dreams denied last weekend. Other spring sports have come to a close, but postseason awards have been bestowed.

Tennis

Bowdoin’s men’s tennis team beat Vassar 5-0 in the second round of the NCAA tournament last Saturday, then fell 5-1 to Williams in the regional final Sunday to end their season at 12-7. Stephen Sullivan, Jamie Neely and Oscar Pena did earn individual NCAA bids and will continue playing. The women’s squad was a 5-0 winner over U. Mass-Dartmouth in the first round, then lost 5-4 to Tufts in the second round to wind up 9-9. Sarah D’Elia and Emily Lombardi earned bids to compete as a doubles team in the National tournament.
