The University of Minnesota Duluth women's tennis team closed out the regular season this past Friday (April 8th) in a home match versus St. Cloud State University.

The team graduates the two senior captains, Carrie Dahlman and Anna Witty.

Dahlman finishes the 2011 season with a 6-10 singles record (at No. 1) and a 7-9 doubles record (at No. 1). Dahlman closes out her collegiate career with a career singles record of 34-33 and a record of 33-38 in doubles. During her tenure, Dahlman received a total of three NSIC All-Conference (Honorable Mention) nods (twice in singles, once in doubles).

Witty finishes the 2011 season with a 10-7 singles record (at No. 5) and a 3-14 doubles record (at No. 2 and No. 3). In singles play, Witty led the 2011 squad with the most wins and competed in all 17 matches of the season. With a successful senior season, Witty wraps up her collegiate career with a singles record of 11-10 and a 7-14 doubles record.
