Summer Stillson was a shot back at 166, while Grace May had the best individual round for the Lancers with an 80, and totaled 168.

Sloane Winders shot an 81 on the first day, but was forced to withdraw because of an injury.
"We are honestly disappointed with our performance, but we see this time as an opportunity for growth," said Coach Denny Duncan. "We have some top players dealing with injuries, so others are having to step into leadership roles. We hope to have everyone completely healthy soon."

Men's Tennis Advances to Semis
The Grace men's tennis team took care of business in the opening round of the Crossroads League Tournament, defeating Goshen 4-1 in a match played inside at the Warsaw Racquet Club.
The Maple Leafs of Goshen jumped out to a 1-0 lead by taking two of the doubles matches, both by 6-3 scores. Grace then came back to dominate singles play, winning four contests to claim the match.
David Sandi won 6-2, 6-3 at No. 1 singles and Fabricio Galvan claimed the No. 3 spot 6-1, 6-4. After Nicolas Doria won 6-3, 6-2 at No. 5 singles, it was simply a matter of which match finished first to give Grace the overall victory.
