CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Coe College women's tennis team advanced to the American Rivers Conference championship match with a semifinal victory over Central on Thursday afternoon, defeating the sixth-seeded Dutch 5-2 at Clark Racquet Center. Coe, which advanced to its second-straight A-R-C Title Match, dominated from the jump with an impressive effort in doubles to grab a 3-0 lead. All three pairs turned in excellent performances with the Kohawks winning 8-1, 8-4 and 8-2 en route to the sweep. Coe's no. 3 pairing of Emma Lassen and Jaden Fuqua secured the opening win with an 8-2 decision before the top pair of Claudia Bilkey and Jania Carter-Johnson picked up an 8-1 win to make it 2-0. Maddie Schultz and Courtney Carstensen ensured the sweep at no. 2, claiming an 8-4 win for the Kohawks. Schultz and Carter-Johnson completed the victory in singles, earning wins at no. 1 and no. 3 to send Coe to the next round. Schultz, Coe's top singles player all year, defeated the top Dutch player 6-2, 6-0 while Carter-Johnson fought back from an early deficit for a 7-6, 6-4 victory. The win moves Coe to 13-7 for the season while Central ends the year with a 7-13 record.
