Sofia Canto made school history by making a run to the semifinals against Lindsey Wilson but came up short 6-2, 6-2. Canto is the first Lady Wildcat to advance to the MSC Semifinals. 

Coach Derrick Hubble was proud of the effort by both teams. "To say I'm beyond proud of the 13 players that I took on the trip to the tournament would be an understatement. We saw a lot of things we can work on and that will help us prepare for the spring semester." Hubble added, "Each of the students are hungry to get better. They continue to impress me with their desire to continue to improve. I'm super excited to see where this journey takes us."
