Conference Highlights
Overall dual record 11-7 included playing 4 champions from other Division III conferences. Picked to finish 6th of 7 in the Landmark but went 3-3 in duals (with two 4-5 losses to the top two teams) and lost in the conference semi-finals to eventual champion. Hosted 8 team fall tournament and 4 players finished first in brackets. 8 returning players with 4 new coming in; losing 4 in spring of 2009 to graduation, so lots of room to join in 2009 with the high squad size.
Post Season Highlights
Picked as one of the top 4 in the Landmark Conference to go to the playoffs and lost in the semis to eventual champ Moravian. Outlook for next year is strong as 8 return and Moravian loses 4 top players. Scranton looks to be the other challenger at the top in 08/09.

Produced two doubles champions at the Goucher Invitational in October.
