Another year, another championship for the women’s tennis team. For the second consecutive season, the Lady Greyhounds captured the Middle Atlantic Conference team championship while junior Lynne Grzywacz (Blue Bell/Wissahickon HS) became Moravian’s first-ever MAC singles champion.

She was 9-0 in doubles with partner Jessie Coughlin (Bethlehem/Bethlehem Catholic HS). At second singles, Coughlin posted a perfect 16-0 record and was 11-1 in doubles. Coughlin has completed three straight regular seasons undefeated in singles play and holds a 48-2 career slate. Both of her losses have come in the MAC Individual Championships.

Sophomore Marnie Heller (Shillington/Governor Mifflin HS) was 13-1 at fourth singles and 15-2 overall and 9-4 in doubles play including 7-3 with senior Alison Parpagene (Fredericksburg/Northern Lehigh HS). Parpagene was 13-3 in singles. Senior Lisa Walton (Wall, NJ/Wall HS) finished 12-4 at fifth singles.
