EAST LANSING, Mich. - Four Michigan State women's tennis players will be in action in Sunday's finals during the final day of The Spartan Cup, after solid performances on Saturday.
Freshmen Mandy Caldemeyer (Grand Rapids, Mich.) and Jehan Patel (Black River, Mauritius) will meet for the championship of the singles B flight after each won a pair of matches on Saturday. Patel has breezed through her first three matches of the past two days, winning all in straight sets, while Caldemeyer went three sets for the first time in the semifinals Saturday, earning a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 victory against Elizabeh Matthews of Denver.
Before Caldemeyer battles Patel, she will first pair with freshman Kate Thomas (Long Beach, Calif.) in the doubles B flight final. The duo will meet Valparaiso's Patricia Arakaki and Sarah Engelbert for the title.
One other Spartan will be in action during Sunday's finals, as sophomore Caroline Lay (Brisbane, Austrailia) will meet Megan Zimpfer of Miami (Ohio) in the final of the singles A flight consolation bracket. Lay won twice in straight sets today to reach the final, allowing only three games to be won by her opponents in the four sets.
Michigan State had three of the final four participants in the singles B flight, as sophomore Josie Schmude (Traverse City, Mich.) advanced to the semifinals with a win before falling to Patel. Also in B flight singles, senior Amanda McGinnis (East Lansing, Mich.) won once in the consolation bracket before being eliminated in the semifinals. Freshman Keri Thompson (Clark Lake, Mich.) lost her only singles match today, in the A flight consolation quarterfinal round.
In doubles, junior Asa Liden (Vanersborg, Sweden) and freshman Dora Vastag (Okemos, Mich.) won in the A flight quarterfinals before losing in the semifinals, while Lay and Thompson lost in the A flight quarterfinals.
