Hollins University

Fall 2011

Hollins entered the fall season returning just three starters from last season’s ODAC runner-up squad. The young team came into the season with high expectations and one of the toughest tournament schedules Hollins has faced in recent memory. After a season-opening trip to the Methodist University Invitational, the team took on the Atlantic Region’s top teams at the ITA Regional before closing out with the ODAC Fall Championships.

Hollins posted a 17-15 record at the Methodist Fall Invitational. Priscila Montoya '14 won the #2 Singles draw when she defeated teammate Victoria Coffee '15 in a thrilling three-set battle. Montoya then teamed with her sister, Karen ('14), to finish third in the #1 Doubles draw. Hollins also won three of the Consolation brackets during the event, which featured several of the best teams in the South.

Riding the momentum of the Methodist event, Hollins competed in the ITA Regional and came away with their best finish in years. Shawnte Woodson '12 and Tina Kakadelis '15 teamed to reach the final of their Doubles draw before coming up just short to a team from Franklin & Marshall. Coffee won the Consolation draw of her Singles bracket while Caitlin Hoerr '13 and Trudy Siziba '12 won the Consolation draw of their Doubles bracket. Hollins more than held their own in an event that featured more than 150 players from 20 different colleges and universities.

Hollins again excelled in the season-ending ODAC Fall Championships. Hollins was represented in six of the 10 Finals including a victory in Flight 7 Singles. Siziba topped her opponent from Sweet Briar, 7-5 and 6-2, to take the Flight 7 title match. Following yet another successful fall campaign,

Hollins will enter the spring season with an incredible amount of excitement and optimism.
