Women’s Tennis Edged by Nationally-Ranked Grand Valley State on Senior Day

The Calvin women’s tennis team played host to the undefeated Grand Valley State Lakers on Wednesday afternoon. The game was played inside the Huizenga Tennis and Track Center due to weather. This was a special day for three Calvin seniors. Wednesday marked the last time that Melissa Oosterhouse, Kaitlyn Spoelhof, and Michelle Busscher would play a match in a Calvin uniform in Grand Rapids. These three seniors would prove to be very helpful to the Knights. Calvin lost the match 5-4 to the Lakers, ranked 16th nationally in NCAA Division II tennis, and it was only fitting that the seniors scored the only four points for the Knights.
