Wheaton Juniors Sarah Geocaris and Catherine Teague Named NEWMAC Women's Tennis Doubles Team of the Week

NEWMAC Women's Tennis Doubles Team of the Week 

Sarah Geocaris, Wheaton College, 2011 (Newport Beach, Calif.)
Catherine Teague, Wheaton College, 2011 (Manchester, N.H.)

Geocaris and Teague posted a 2-0 mark from the first position in leading top-seeded Wheaton to its first conference championship in program history. Against number-four Smith during Sunday's semifinal round, the regionally-ranked duo blanked their counterparts as the Lyons swept the Pioneers, 5-0. Geocaris and Teague then provided Wheaton with a much-needed doubles point in the title match versus five-time defending league tournament champion Wellesley College. Trailing 5-4 against the second-seeded Blue, the tandem rattled off wins in four straight games against a nationally-ranked foe for an 8-5 triumph and eventual 5-4 team victory.
