Marion, AL—The Lady Tigers slid by the Lady Sun Chiefs, 5-4, on Friday afternoon at the Paul B. Anderson Tennis Complex, winning three singles and two doubles matches.  Doubles partners Julia Kelly and Madelyn Dibble contributed three points to the Tiger cause by winning their singles points and combining to win their doubles point.  Anna Waller also chipped in two points with her singles win and her doubles win with Eve Crossett.  Crossett almost added another point to the Tiger tally but came up just short in her upset bid at No. 4 singles.  She lost 6-4, 3-6, 4-6 in a well-played and hard-fought match.  Also playing well and coming up just short of victory was Catherine Taylor, who played a fine second set in her 1-6, 4-6 setback at No. 5 singles.
