GENEVA, N.Y.—The William Smith College tennis team will compete this weekend, Oct 18-20, at the New York State Collegiate Atheltic Association Championships hosted by Cornell University. The Herons, sporting a 6-3 record received the fourth seed behind Vassar, Skidmore, and Hamilton Colleges.

At the 2001 NYSWCAA Championships, the Herons finished fifth out of 16 teams with 20 points. Sophomores Molly Patterson (Mountain Lakes/Mountain Lakes, N.J.) and Laura Maier (Lancaster Day School/Reading, Pa.) both reached the semi-finals of their respective brackets, while the duo of Brighde Dougherty (Manasquan/Sea Girt, N.J.) and Diana Harmann (St. Joseph’s/Southport, Conn.) advanced to the semifinals in second doubles.
