The Yellow Jacket women's tennis team traveled to Buckhannon knowing they needed a win over third place West Virginia Wesleyan to clinch their fifth straight conference championship Friday.

     Meanwhile the Bobcats were hoping for an upset that would move them into a first place tie,

     With a good size crowd composed mainly of the school;s soccer and baseball teams cheering them on the hosts jumped out to a 2-1 lead after doubles play.

      But the young WVSU squad righted itself after that and steadily climbed back into the match and then into the lead on the way to a 6-3 victory.

      Freshman Lindsay Goff was next winning 6-2, 6-4 to run the score to 4-2.

      Another freshman, Kierstin Hensley, served up the championship clincher moments later when she completed a tough 7-6, 6-0 win at second singles.

     Sophomore Kayla McKnight wrapped up the WVSU scoring with a long three set win at fifth singles.
