The Hornets finished the regular season with an MIAA match at Trine. Kalamazoo completed the conference season undefeated to be MIAA Champions by defeating the Thunder 9-0.
Hurley and her doubles partner Meghan Killmaster battled to win the #2 doubles match 8-7 (7-4). Then, she defeated her #4 singles opponent in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1. Hurley had an 8-8 singles record this season, including 5-2 in the MIAA, mostly playing in the #4 spot. She also had an 8-6 (5-2 MIAA) record in doubles, going 7-6 with Killmaster in the #2 spot.
In her three seasons, Hurley is 24-21 (15-4 MIAA) in singles matches, playing in the fourth, fifth, and sixth spots. She is also 31-18 (19-3 MIAA) in doubles matches, competing in the second and third spots. Hurley won the MIAA Women's Tennis Player of the Week yesterday for the first time in her career.
