Women's Tennis Concludes Fall Season with Strong Singles Effort at Elon

Box Score ELON, N.C. – William & Mary women's tennis wrapped up fall play with a dominating singles effort on the final day of the Elon Invitational on Saturday. As a team, the Green and Gold won 12 of 14 matches on the day in singles action and finished the event at 18 of 21 in individual play over the two days.
 
Senior Mila Saric, who is ranked No. 97 nationally, won both her matches on Saturday to win the Gold Singles Draw. She did not drop a set over the two days and just eight total games over her three matches. Saric wrapped up the fall at 10-2.
