Smith Tennis traveled to Wheaton College on Sat, Sept 17 to take on the defending conference champs. Smith's third doubles team of Eunice Zhao and Julia Signell won their match but it was still not enough to give Smith a lead. Smith entered the singles down 1-2 and the Pioneers were never able to recover as the Wheaton team showed their patience and tenacity outlasting the Smith Team and winning the match 8-1. Allie Ryan and Eunice Zhao put up the best fight in singles earning four games each and keeping their opponents from scoring a 6-0 set.
