Seniors Nicole Phillips and Makayla Red of the LaGrange College women's tennis team were honored for their outstanding collegiate careers during senior day festivities Sunday afternoon, as the Panthers fell, 9-0, to Piedmont on the Greer Tennis Courts.
"I could not be prouder of how our team battled through some adversity these last few seasons," said LaGrange College women's tennis head coach Matt Donnett. "We will miss our two seniors dearly. I cannot thank them for all the word work they have put in during their time here and how they represented our college."
