Basketball

That was announced late last week, along with the projection that the Lady Flames would finish third again in the league. Everyone who played significant minutes is back from the 2016-17 team that finished 20-11 and made the Division II national tournament for the first time in the Cleveland school’s NCAA history. Coach Marty Rowe is 348-87 in 13 seasons at Lee and 479-152 in 19 years as a college head coach. The Lee men were picked to finish 10th in the GSC under second-year coach Bubba Smith.

Tennis

* UTC’s Cooper Long and Jacob Marshall picked up a doubles win in consolation play, 8-3 over Wright State’s Carlos Estrada and William Morton, for the Mocs’ lone victory on the final day of the Louisville (Ky.) Invite. The Mocs’ Simon Bustamante and Niklas Gerdes lost in the A draw doubles semifinals, and Pablo Llebeili and Luke Plaisted lost in the C draw doubles semis.

Hendrix (9-13, 6-5) won 25-13 in each of the final two sets. For Sewanee (10-11, 4-8), the stat category leaders were Destiny Stewart (10 kills), Constance Connolly (19 assists), Mason Gardella (three blocks) and Peyton Parent (20 digs).

Field Hockey

* Hannah Tompkins scored the first goal and Ceara Caffrey and Katie Wilson each had a goal and an assist as Sewanee won 3-0 Saturday against visiting Concordia, Wis., to improve to 6-3.

Swimming

* Freshman Lee Haber won the 200-yard medley and the 500 freestyle as the Sewanee men’s swimming and diving team won its season opener last Friday against visiting Berry, 115.5-105.5. Haber’s 500 win began a closing surge of four event victories that carried the Tigers to the team triumph. It was capped by the 200 free relay win for the freshman group of Robert Coles, Haber, Hayden Everett and Jacob Finco. Classmates James Hoyt and Carl Failing won the 1000 and 200 freestyle races earlier in the meet. Other wins for Sewanee came from Jed Henrichsen in the 1-meter six- and 11-dive events and Kipling Klimas in the 100 breaststroke. The Sewanee women lost 133-109 but got two wins each from Meghan Mulhern (200 and 500 free) and diver Noel Whitlock and won the 200 free relay with Ashley Krueger and freshmen Abby Rapuano, Bailey Stevens and Olivia Baker.
