The Lady Bearcats fought hard, but fell just short of repeating their title in the Nancy Heath Invitational at Allegheny College, losing 5-4 to the hosts in the championship.

Led by the doubles teams of Meghan Wells/Lori Orthen and Sarah Rendulic/Kim Meier, SVC defeated Case Western Reserve by a score of 5-0 in a match that was abbreviated due to weather conditions.

Later in the day, the Lady Bearcats faced host Allegheny College in the championship, but fell 5-4 despite victories from the same two doubles teams, along with singles wins by Rendulic and Meier.

SVC is now 4-3 on the year, and will travel to Blair County on Friday afternoon to take on Penn State-Altoona at 3PM.
