The Cornerstone women's tennis team took to the courts Friday in its first Night of Nets match to fight malaria.  The biggest crowd Cornerstone tennis has ever seen turned out to help raise money and support the team.  Through the generaous donations of the crowd, enough money was raised to provide over 100 mosquito nets to those most in need.  This represents 100 lives that may be saved, and possibibly an entire community that could be transformed.

In the weekend of matches, Cornerstone first fell to Bethel in a tightly contested 6-3 match.  Winning for CU was Ashley Greene & Allison Rusticus in singles, as well as the doubles team of Ashley Greene & Heidi Boesl.  Allison had to fight back from a first set loss to win her match in a third set tie-breaker.

On Saturday, the women took on the Taylor Trojans, and fell 9-0 in a match that was much closer than the score would suggest.  Ashley Greene fought back from a first set loss to force a third set breaker, but came up just short.  In the match of the day, Janie Silvers lost a first set tie-breaker, won a second set tie-breaker, but then lost the third set tie-breaker for a 7-6, 6-7, (10-6) final score in what was a wonderfully played match by both players.

This concludes the women's tennis fall season.  Up next is Albion College in February.
