Echeverry Leads Women’s Tennis at Greater Cincinnati Invitational

MASON, Ohio – Luisa Echeverry (Cali, Columbia) advanced herself to the final round in Flight 3 singles to lead the Akron women's tennis team at the Greater Cincinnati Invitational, co-hosted by the University of Dayton and Northern Kentucky University.

"We started off slow in singles on the first day, but that was to be expected," said head coach Brandon Padgett. "We only had four practices prior to playing this tournament, so I knew we would have to play our way into matches. Luisa did an outstanding job making the finals, while playing in a much higher flight than she ever played last season, beating some extremely strong players along the way.
