WTEN: Panthers drop finale to Bridgewater State, earn No. 3 seed

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Freshman Tessa LaBarre (North Smithfield, R.I.) picked up the win at No. 4 singles, but Bridgewater State University held down Plymouth State University, 8-1, in a Little East Conference (LEC) women's tennis match at the Holderness School Courts on Sunday afternoon.
 
In a match that would determine which team would earn a first round bye for this week's LEC Tournament, the visiting Bears jumped out to a quick lead after sweeping doubles play. LaBarre got the Panthers a point with her play at No. 4, but Bridgewater State was able to come out on top.
 
Prior to the match senior Julie Miller (Woburn, Mass.) was celebrated as part of Plymouth State's Senior Day activities.
 
PSU ends the regular season with a 10-4 record (6-2 LEC) and will be the No. 3 seed for the LEC Tournament. The Panthers host sixth-seeded Salem State on Tuesday (Oct. 19) at 3:00 p.m.
 
The Bears improve to 12-2 (7-1 LEC) and host the winner of Tuesday's PSU-SSU match in the semifinal round on Thursday (Oct. 21).
