AMHERST,
Mass. – The Wellesley College tennis team wrapped
up competition at the New England Women's Intercollegiate Tennis

Highlights from the tournament included number one doubles pair
of Jenna Mezin (Haiku, Hawaii) and Hali Walther (Navarre, Fla.)
defeating Alicia Menezes and Brittany Berckes of Amherst in the
quarterfinals for the first time in their collegiate careers.
The duo went on
to advance to the finals of their flight, defeating Luten and Deary
from Tufts (8-5) in the semi-finals before Sarah D’Elia and
Kristen Raymond of Bowdoin topped the 2006 ITA All-American pair

Wellesley’s
top finishes in singles brackets also came from Mezin and Walther.
Mezin downed Allison Dunn of Colby(6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-2), Ana Katz
from Brandeis (6-1, 6-1), and Connecticut College’s Beret
Remak (7-6(5), 3-6, 7-5) to advance to the semi-finals before dropping
a 6-4, 6-2 match
to
the eventual
champion, Cary Gibson of Williams.
Walther’s
run to the semi-finals included two set wins over Helena Jedziriak
of Mount Holyoke (6-1, 6-1) and Kate Johnson (7-5,
6-3) of Smith and
an intense three-set come-from-behind victory over Tufts’ Kylyn
Deary (3-6, 7-6(5)
