MACON, Ga. – The Florida Southern College women's tennis team wrapped up another fall tournament, participating in the Mercer Gridiron Classic this weekend.
 
The Moccasins had a great showing in the three-day classic, competing with several NCAA Division I, II, and III teams, hosted by Mercer University at the Randy Stephens Tennis Center.
 
The classic opened with doubles, as the pairing of Josie Holderbach and Giulia Bizzari won 7-6 (8) over their GCSU competition in the East draw. Emily Jennewein and Ronja Scheuermann also won their outing in the East, 6-1, over the Western Carolina pairing. Both dropped the quarterfinal matchup of the main draw, ending the doubles run for both pairings. Other FSC doubles matchups included Johanna Dahlstrom and Kristyna Bohatova, who fell 6-2 against a Middle Georgia State pairing in Flight B, but then won the next two matches 6-3 and 6-1 to advance to the West Final. The match went unplayed but a great 2-1 weekend for the Dahlstrom and Bohatova pairing.
 
In singles, Scheuermann had a great run in Flight A2, winning 6-4, 6-1 against a GCSU opponent and then 6-1, 6-2 against a Georgia Southern opponent to advance to the East semifinals. She dropped that match in two sets, on a 2-1 weekend for singles. Jennewein was in the same East draw, dropping the first match in a close three-set matchup, later winning 6-3, 6-3 against MGA in the West quarterfinals. In Flight C, Bohatova had a great showing, winning 6-2, 6-2 against Abraham Baldwin College, then recovering after a first set loss, to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, against her WCU opponent to go to the flight semifinals. Bohatova lost that in two sets, ending with a 2-1 weekend.
