Box Score WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – Sophomore Hannah Summerson (South Williamsport, Pa./South Williamsport) became the first Lycoming College women's tennis player in seven years to reach the finals at the MAC Individual Championships, doing so at No. 2 singles, to lead the team on Sunday, Oct. 15, at Kirby Park.
 
Summerson, the No. 3 seed in her flight, defeated Misericordia's Carly Young in a gutsy comeback in the semifinals, 3-6, 6-3, 10-3, to join a group of just three Warriors that have reached the conference finals along with Rebecca Reynolds (No. 4, 2010) and Cricket Temple (No. 1, 1999, 2000, 2002).
 
In her finals match, Summerson fell to Wilkes' Francesca Varela-Seri, 6-2, 6-2, as Summerson finished her tournament with a 3-1 record.
