What A Racket! The BC Women ' s Tennis team finished the 1982 ' fall season with an outstanding record of 10-4. The record proved that the team ' s success of the previous season (which saw them win the Division II Eastern Regional Championship and finish thirteenth nationally) was indeed no fluke. The season both began and ended with a three game winning streak. Nine of the ten wins were by scores of 7-2 or greater, and all but one of the losses were hotly contested. The progress of the team from last season may best be gauged by looking at the results against four key opponents. At the team ' s last meeting with UMASS, the Eagles soared to an 8-1 victory. Against BU last fall, BC fell 8-1; this year, BU hung on to a close 5-3 win. Brown and Dartmouth, winners last fall by 8-1, margins held on this fall, 5-2 and 5-4 repectively. Each of these defeats inducted several three-set losses. Until this year, women ' s tennis in New England was the exclusive domain of BU and the four Ivy League schools. It is now clear that BC belongs with these powers. by Howard Singer At right, Bemadette Diaz approaches the net hoping to return a winner. At far right.
