Iona Lord Is Gone, But She Left Legacy Of Tennis And Education

WEST HARTFORD — Melissa Lord of Bloomfield has not lost a tennis match at Kingswood Oxford since sixth grade. She will play on a scholarship at Stanford in the fall.

Her older sister, Dayna, also a Kingswood graduate, is an All-Ivy League tennis player at Brown University.

And their younger brother Matthew is a sophomore and the No. 1 singles player at Kingswood. He, like his sister Melissa, is No. 1 in the USTA New England rankings in their respective age groups. Melissa is ranked No. 7 in the country.

Their mom would have been proud.
